Worship As A Way Of Life...

A Worshipping Life…..

We are prone to think of worship as something that can only occur in a meeting house among Christians. But worship is a broader concept than that. The acts of worship we participate in during our assemblies are an overflow of a worshipping life—a life of sacrifice and service to God (Romans 12:1). Everything we do is an offering that we lay at the Master’s feet for His approval.

Developing Intimacy With God...

In the frantic pace of modern living, it is very possible that many of us are relatively religious, but not very spiritual. There is a difference. One is more outward, the other more inward. We may know much about God, but struggle to really know God (Philippians 3:10; 1 John 5:20).

The Psalms—Inspired Expressions Of Worship...

The book of Psalms is preserved to impress us with the spirit of true worship (Romans 15:4). It examines the depths of the human heart that uses poetry as a means of expressing praise and worship to God. Thus, the Psalms indicate how we should worship God, and give us ideas about the purpose, plan, and expressions of worship to God. They are a call to worship, and an example of how to worship.

True Worship...

Is God just a petty, arrogant being who demands worship and praise to feed His ego, or is there a more noble reason for Him desiring worship? Does God seek extravagant, entertaining, outward expressions of worship, or just simple, heart-felt expressions that spring from deep within (Philippians 3:3)? Man glories in outwardly impressive displays, whereas God glories in the inward movement that articulates itself in worship.
