Book excerpt: “What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.
Download or read book Praise Worship and the Word written by Julia M. Davis and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has learned, from experience, how God moves in the hearts, minds, and lives of people who spend time with him in praise, worship, and studying the Word. When asked the question, “What do you want people to learn from your years of experience in living for God?” the author responded that she would like to “download” and “regurgitate” her life experiences regarding praise, worship, and the study of the Word into the hearts and lives of young people so that they will come to know the voice of the Lord, learn to listen to him, and follow his leading. You cannot go wrong if you follow where God wants you to go and what he wants you to do. We should ask God to, “Order my steps in thy word” (Psa. 119:133). “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds” (2 Cor. 10:4). Praise, Worship, and the Word opens you up to receive what God has to say to you, show you, and how he wants to lead you. You cannot follow God if you don’t listen to him. When Alice asked the question, “Would you tell me, please which way I ought to go from here?” The answer was “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there” (Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland). Listen to the voice of God, and you cannot go wrong.
Download or read book Hebrew and Greek Praise and Worship Words written by Gerard Assey and published by Gerard Assey. This book was released on 2020-09-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying the original meaning behind key Hebrew and Greek words related to Praise and Worship can enormously enrich our understanding of how we are to worship the God of the Bible; while inspiring us to break free of all our shyness and inhibitions and become a more responsive worshiper as our Almighty, All-loving God rightly deserves! Understanding biblical accuracy helps eliminate false assumptions associated with worship and replaces our cultural, so-called religious upbringings and biases with an accurate knowledge and right response to worship the KING of kings. As we all know, much of the Old Testament was originally written in the Hebrew language and there are a lot of Hebrew words translated with just the use of one common word “praise” into our English language and therefore we only see it as one word in English- thus missing out into the deeper meaning of such powerful action words. The English Language is not a very descriptive language, especially for some of the Biblical phrases used for Praise and Worship. You will be surprised to note that there are more than 50 different Hebrew words associated with “praise” alone in scripture and this little booklet will help you to study and understand a number of such relevant Hebrew and Greek words related to praise and worship, along with their implied action and our appropriate response. And as you will discover, when you actually dive deep into the original language in the Scripture, you will get a taste of so much of ‘meat-to-eat’ depth of meaning! You will begin to see that there are many different forms of praise, and that each form is designed to express unique elements of worship, in a manner worthy of engaging the attention and response of God. If your heart is to worship God, and to offer to Him what He has asked for, then this little booklet: ‘Hebrew and Greek Praise and Worship Words’ (containing a collection of one hundred of them) will most certainly deepen your understanding. All of these ancient Hebrew and Greek words listed here are meant to take you out of your comfort zone and enable you experience God in a fresh way, by profoundly shaping the way you worship. What you will find in this booklet is: -The original Hebrew or Greek Word (from a total of one hundred) -The corresponding Strong’s Reference -The phonetics (speech sound) or pronunciation of the said word -And the scriptural references where that word is used in context with the particular word highlighted in bold As you keep meditating on each word, you will find that most of these words for “praise” will help paint a totally different picture of a very distinctive and unique act of worship, in response to the different mighty acts of God. Each word conveys the accurate physical action required of by the worshipper, in an attitude of thanksgiving for what our God has done. I finally, pray, that through these various expressions of praise and worship that they will enable and help you have a deeper understanding of God’s original word, by inspiring and invigorating your response as our Almighty, All-loving God so rightly deserves So just go ahead now and… Raise your Praise, To Experience GOD in Fresh and New Ways!

More importantly, God wants to connect with YOU. There are tremendous, life-changing benefits to worship in "spirit and truth"- but understanding what that means, how to use worship in all aspects of your life and what the enemy will do to break your connection with God is paramount. If you desire more of God; if you've been standing in faith for revival in your life; if you've been believing for miracles; if you're not sensing His presence in your life or seeing the manifestation of answers in prayer- start here! If the Bible is your sword, worship is your arrow. The Christian life is full of battles and victories, but you have been equipped with *every* weapon you need- now, learn how to use them!

Praise, Worship, and Thanksgiving seeks to inspire you to become a worshipper in order to understand that power. Author Audrey Eccleston shows how praise and worship were used as a weapon by the children of Israel in the Old Testament, under the leadership of Jehoshaphat, Daniel, and Joshua. She further explains that whenever praise and worship were used in this manner in Bible times, the awesome presence of God always brought sure victory to God’s people. Praise, Worship, and Thanksgiving illustrates the steps you can take to become a worshipper. While fully describing what praise and worship are to Christians, Eccleston also offers guidance on why, how, and when to praise and worship God. She provides powerful truths from the Scripture for use by those who have faith in God and observations on the differences among praise and worship; the theory and practice of praise; and the theory and practice of worship and thanksgiving.
