How Do We Glorify?

What truly glorifies God?

I've always wondered this question, pondered the answer, and i still don't know for sure. We are told that by NOT doing things, live a pure life is the way we do this. Or by singing praise songs, and worshiping him. But to me i've always found this a bit ridiculous. There are very few so-called "Christian Artists" i will listen to because most of them are as hypocritical, or more so than the general population and it sickens me. But why must one be a Christian artist to glorify the lord?

My own opinions were first backed as I was reading "Velvet Elvis", in which Rob Bell makes the statement that just by using the gifts that God has bestowed upon us, whether it be writing, or playing an instrument or fixing a car, that we are glorifying God. I honestly believe that just by making a record (maybe with a bit of pure intentions) and selflessly taking credit, one will glorify God. Or the actor who plays an Oscar-Worthy performance who takes no credit for his win can glorify the Lord, because even God knows Christians cannot make a good film to save their lives.

But everything theological is only opinion and this is only my own commentary. I don't claim to be right, but nobody has come to correct me. Comments are welcome, since theology is nothing more than discussion.
