	Private Worship: The Key to Joy Entering God’s Presence - Nancy Missler - Koinonia House
		The key to worship, however, is that it must be done "in the spirit" and not "in the flesh." John 4:24 tells us that "God is a Spirit; and those that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
		Worship begins when we present our bodies to the Lord as a living sacrifice, but is not consummated until we worship Him in spirit and truth at the altar of our hearts.
		Worship, therefore, is not something that is practiced externally, but something that is accomplished internally.

		The customs of this festival vary considerably, and the manner of the bear’s death differs among the mountain and coast Ainos, but everywhere there is a general gathering of the people, and it is the occasion of a great feast, accompanied with much sake and a curious dance, in which men alone take part.
