A frazzled family was rushing around one morning, trying to get out the door to church, knowing they were already going to be late. “Don’t worry, mom,” their adolescent son said. “I don’t like the singing anyway.” “Oh,” cautioned the mom. “That’s the most important part.” “It is?” replied the child. “I thought we were there to hear a sermon.” “No!” said the...

Our Creator certainly deserves our worship. He is worthy of it, and due the honor. The fascinating truth is that we need worship more than He does! “Wait a minute. When I praise the Lord, that is my gift to him. How does that benefit me?” When we enter into a time of prayer not for the purpose of requesting things, we’re really worshiping. We’re thanking Him for saving us, for what He’s done in our lives, and what we’re expecting Him to do. We’re adoring His attributes. We’re marveling at His creation. We’re claiming our commitment to Him. We’re...Read More

Singing praises to God or worshiping him opens up a window to heaven. As your praise reaches the heart of God, it becomes a two way stream of communication. As you touch God with your praise, his Holy Spirit touches you and ministers to you. Praise and worship can also open the door to blessings from God...Read More

At our church children aren’t always with adults during praise and worship time. Often they are attending age-appropriate services where the message and music are geared for them. Although relaxing for parents, I believe we all miss out on something by not worshiping together...Read More

Our faith should be growing every day. Did you know that worship helps our faith grow? How?

Sometimes we are so inhibited. We cover ourselves up. We hang blinds and curtains on our windows. We tint our vehicle windows. We keep to ourselves, don’t dare to be real with others and don’t nurture deep, meaningful relationships even with our Christ Jesus Lord. On the flip side, some of us walk around indecently exposed; we express ourselves very freely through dress, hairstyles, body piercing and tattoos, pickets, and boycotts. So why do we find it difficult to...Read More

For three years while I was a worship pastor almost every week someone from the congregation would bring up the issue of Hymn's vs. Choruses. Some members wanted more hymns, some wanted more choruses, some wanted hymns sung like choruses and some wanted less hymns and less "old" chorus songs so that we could do more "new" stuff...Read More

The Nature Of Prayer, And How We Use It. In our modern world of science, we’re sometimes tempted to think of prayer, petition, and merit as a mathematic equation. “Pray about X for Y number of hours, fasting for W days, and X will be answered.” We’ve come to expect an immediate answer to our problems…like a simple program that has occasional bug, but generally works well with a few clicks of the mouse...Read More

Finding time to pray after becoming a mother has been challenging.

God speaks loudest when we’re quiet. You’ve heard it said that God gave us two ears and only one mouth for a reason. Logically, it should be easier for us to speak half as much and listen two times more, right? It is an unfortunate tendency of our human nature to use prayer time as an opportunity to purge all our transgressions, frustrations...Read More

Joel 2 verse 17 "Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?"...Read More
