*confused* Maybe it's the phrasing, but I feel like you're sideways to my point.
I don't see a contradiction to the idea of Worship being Expressions of Love. I've just tended to be a bit shy of the word Worship over the years because so many people I know equate it directly to Service, which they then seem to automatically equate with Following Orders. It's possible to serve others according to your own ideas and perceptions as well. It's possible to express love and thus to worship in manners other than acts of service. Where's the contradiction?
And yes, I know gifts are often given for other reasons as well - I never said ALL gifts were expressions of love.
