Download or read book The Dynamics of Praise and Worship written by Simeon Victor Pesima and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The living God is often worshipped through songs; and the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are well-known as a prerogative of the Church. This book is replete with Biblical exposition and viewed from a standpoint that relates to the pivotal role in song ministration. In retrospect, praise and worship is the ""sweet aroma of sacrifice"" that brings pleasure to God and makes Him feel happy and comfortable. Praise and Worship constitute a power-packed ministry; creating a spectacular atmosphere that engineers the tangible present of God in the midst of His people. Praise, on one hand, serves as a ""Golden Way"" through which blessings are channeled into the lives of Christians. Worship, on the other, is like a ""pearl of worth"" that gives us the privilege of feasting at the Master's table: culminating to a vertical relationship with the Lord which triggers horizontal impacts. More significantly, the Lordship of Jesus is illuminated in glory, majesty, and splendor as we life His name through songs of Jubilation -- like this: JESUS, JESUS, JESUS Sweeter than honey Oh, How we love thy Name! Hallelujah!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to worship? How do we act it out? When we understand these, we will be able to offer up to God true worship, having a throne room experience. True worship comes from the knowledge that God is Supreme and the Creator of all things. He possesses all wisdom, power, and authority. Worship means to bow down or to prostrate before His greatness. Therefore, when we say we worship God, there ought to be some actions that follow. Whether in the religious setting or in the personal lives of believers, worship requires more than a verbal declaration. It also requires a lifestyle of worship. In the pages of this book, we will address the dynamics of true worship which will lead the believer into a true THRONE ROOM EXPERIENCE.

Download or read book Worldview as Worship written by Eddie Karl Baumann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of many evangelical educators is to facilitate biblical thinking and the worldview transformation of their students. Yet, aside from upholding a set of moral behaviors or maintaining positions on issues perceived to be "Christian," the goals and aspirations of most evangelical young people differ little from their unbelieving peers. As George Barna has noted, "We have a generation coming up that . . . isn't looking at Christianity to answer spiritual concerns . . . We either change or we lose them." Worldview as Worship contends that the approach taken by most evangelical educators to the issue of worldview transformation has neglected to address two fundamental components of worldviews. First, that our initial worldviews are not philosophical systems but rather faith dispositions and that worldview transformation cannot simply present the biblical worldview as a more rational or logical system, but must address issues of the heart as well as the mind. Second, unlike philosophies that are individual, worldviews are communal and are learned and transformed within the context of community practice. Appealing to Paul's teaching in Romans 12:1-2, Worldview as Worship approaches the "renewing of your mind" as the result of the believer's presentation of themselves as a "holy sacrifice . . . which is your spiritual service of worship." The book advocates an approach to worldview transformation that focuses on believers as apprentices rather than simply as students--an approach that holds true to the biblical model of discipleship. As a result, worldview transformation works best when the application of faith to the issues of learning and life are modeled by the faith community and where students are given the opportunity to put faith into practice.

Download or read book Dynamic Equivalence written by Keith F. Pecklers and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In studying the history of the vernacular in worship beginning with the Christian Scriptures, Dynamic Equivalence uncovers the power of a living language to transform communities of faith. How we pray when we come together for common worship has always been significant, but the issue of liturgical language received unprecedented attention in the twentieth century when Latin Rite Roman Catholic worship was opened to the vernacular at Vatican II. Worshiping in one's native tongue continues to be of issue as the churches debate over what type of vernacular should be employed. Dynamic Equivalence traces the history of liturgical language in the Western Christian tradition as a dynamic and living reality. Particular attention is paid to the twentieth century Vernacular Society within the United States and how the vernacular issue was treated at Vatican II, especially within an ecumenical context. The first chapter offers a short history of the vernacular from the first century through the twentieth. The second and third chapters contain a significant amount of archival material, much of which has never been published before. These chapters tell the story of a mixed group of Catholic laity and clergy dedicated to promoting the vernacular during the first half of the twentieth century. Chapter Four begins with a survey of vernacular promotion in the Reformation itself, explores the issue of vernacular worship as an instrument of ecumenical hospitality and concludes with some examples of ecumenical liturgical cooperation in the years immediately preceding the Council. The final chapter treats the vernacular debate at the Council with attention to the Vernacular Society's role in helping with theimplementation of the vernacular. Chapters are "A Brief History of the Vernacular," "The Origins of the Vernacular Society: 1946-1956," "Pressure for the Vernacular Mounts: 1956-1962," "Vernacular Worship and Ecumenical Exchange," "Vatican II and the Vindication of the Vernacular: 1962-1965" Keith F. Pecklers, SJ, SLD, is professor of liturgy at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and professor of liturgical history at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute of Sant 'Anselmo. He is the author of The Unread Vision: The Liturgical Movement in the United States of America 1926-1955, and co-editor of Liturgy for the New Millennium: A Commentary on the Revised Sacramentary, published by The Liturgical Press.

Download or read book Worship Frames written by Deborah J. Kapp and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2008-09-16 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship is a congregation's most important practice. In worship we encounter God's gracious presence and come face to face with the frailty, goodness, and potential of our humanity. We are comforted, corrected, forgiven, healed, challenged, and sometimes even disturbed by the divine and one another. We are morally formed and sent by God into the world. The mysterious and uncontrollable work of the Spirit is at the heart of all genuine worship. Yet worshipers and leaders work hard to worship. In Worship Frames, Deborah Kapp explores how the sociological concept of frames can help us better understand the social and human dynamics of worship. Frames are interpretive schemes or ideas that help people locate, understand, and identify their experiences. For example, opening a service with a period of silent reflection followed by a sober hymn is a different frame for worship than opening with congregational announcements and a loud call-and-response session. She has found that this theory has opened her eyes to dynamics in worship she had not noticed before and best helped her understand differences in worship styles. By understanding our frames, we can learn how to reframe worship to give fuller and richer expression to our faith. Kapp shares her insights with congregations and worship leaders so they will gain new perspectives from which to analyze and design worship, and deepen their perceptions about the role worship plays in faith communities.
