The following is from Bible Connection for heart, mind and soul eNewsletter. Not sure how I signed up for this, but I wanted to share with you guys since it's specifically about worship. Enjoy! |
The Heart's Intent
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving And extol him with music and song. —Psalm 95:1 – 2
Worshiping
God for who he is and what he has done for us can be expressed in many
different forms and diverse environments, but it's the heart behind the
actions that matters to God. Throughout Scripture we see how God's
people worshiped him on towering mountaintops, inside homes with dirt
floors, at a lavishly adorned temple and in dark prisons. They
demonstrated their devotion to God with singing, dancing, sacrifices and
public and private prayer. What's most important to God is not the way
that we choose to worship him, but the motivation that directs our
actions.
Unashamed Worshippers
When God calls us to love him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, he is demanding that we hold nothing back from him. A commitment to worship God is a vow to be bold and unashamed of our love and devotion to him. With great power, God rescued the Israelites when the army of Egypt had them backed against the Red Sea. After their escape, Moses and his sister Miriam led the Israelites in an unapologetic song of celebration and blessing, praising God for who he is and what he had done for them.

Exposing you to artists, songs, events, and personal insights in the Praise and Worship genre. Look for laughable moments and lots of cross-references to pop culture. (Cuz I'm cool like that... See what I mean?)
