A Matter Of The Heart
I’d like to share some thoughts regarding the ministry of the worship leader. Almost every Christian church has one, though they have varying titles. Some are called Song Leaders, while others could be referred to as Worship Pastors, Music and Arts Pastors, Psalmist, or maybe one I haven’t heard of. I’ll use the term “worship…

Times Of Refreshing
“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before” Acts 3:19-20 NKJV “Repent” isn’t a real popular word. I have found it’s a word that is…

O Worship The King!
“Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.” (Psalm 104:1-2 ESV) Let your soul bless the Lord! And may this song, written by Robert Grant several hundred…

3 Big Questions
This post is very short; probably my shortest. It consists of 3 questions and a passage of scripture from Psalm 24. The questions: 1. Is true praise and worship limited only to people whose hands and hearts are clean, who do not worship idols and never tell lies? 2. If not, why does David write,…

Songs To Escape By
“You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.” (Psalm 32:7 NASB) The psalmist sang this declaration to the Lord after realizing how blessed he was to be free from the guilt, shame, and penalty of his transgressions. Praise and worship doesn’t require anything more than…

Which Fountain Are You Drinking From?
Do you ever say, “I don’t feel like praising or worshipping God”? Does it sometimes seem like God hasn’t been truthful with you, or has let you down? Do you ever feel like he’s abandoned you? If so, maybe you need to drink from a different fountain. What do I mean? All around us are…

God In The Midst
Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.…

Ready to Worship
What does it take to get you ready to worship? Is it even possible? Does someone need to wind you up like a toy car, or beat you with a “worship whip” until you’re all bruised and sore – before you decide to let your heart, soul, and body express its need and desire for…

My Heart and Flesh
“How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.” (Psalm 84:1-2 ESV) What an amazing thought! The psalmist says, “my heart and my flesh sing for joy…”; describing a person who is…

The Same Page
What if our “worship services” were actually what they were advertised to be? What if God enjoyed them as much as we did? Is it possible? Does God even attend church anymore? If He does, how do we go about inviting Him, or making Him feel welcome should He walk into our sanctuary? Now I…
