In the realm of worship, King David serves as a powerful example of someone with a heart fully devoted to God. He was unafraid to set aside his dignity and become "even more undignified" in his worship because he recognized the worthiness of God. However, there is another side to this story—a cautionary tale that teaches us an important lesson about the danger of criticizing dancing in worship.

In Psalm 149:3, it is written, "Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with tambourine and harp." This scriptural invitation reminds us of the significance of dancing before the Lord as a form of worship. Inspired by the example of David, who danced with unreserved passion, we explore the profound meaning behind dancing in the presence of God and how it enables us to express uncontainable joy.

In our culture, shouting is often associated with expressing joy, celebration, or even frustration. Whether it's cheering for a sports team or venting our anger, shouting is a powerful and expressive act. But did you know that shouting also has a place in worship? In Psalm 27:6, the Bible encourages us to shout with joy as we worship the Lord. Let's explore the significance of shouting in worship and how it allows us to express our uncontainable celebration of God's goodness.

I had an experience that forever marked me and taught me about worship in this way. Years ago, I got the stomach flu from my friend. This was a particularly virulent strain of the stomach flu and I had it for three weeks. All I could do was stay in the bathroom all day; I was sleeping and living in our bathroom. I could barely keep any food or water down, and I was in so much pain I didn’t move much. 

In a culture where bowing down or kneeling as an act of worship is not commonplace, it may seem unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. However, these physical postures hold deep significance in expressing our reverence and surrender to God. As we delve into the scriptural foundation of bowing and kneeling in worship, we will uncover the beauty and power behind this extravagant response to our Creator.

Music is a beautiful gift from God. It is a way that we can express our love for Him when words fail. The melodies and harmonies played are more than just pretty sounds; they can be a direct extension of our inward worshipfulness. We can adore the Lord and praise His holiness through song and instrument.

In the realm of worship, the act of raising hands can be a topic that stirs curiosity and raises questions. For many, it seems strange or unfamiliar, and the significance behind it remains elusive.

I have recently been thinking about how our time on this earth is the only time in all of eternity that we get the chance to worship God and praise God through hardship, through pain (physical, emotional), through suffering, AND through joy, through blessings and prosperity. Because in Heaven, there will be no hardship, no pain, no suffering. “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4-5)

I never realized how important rest was to God until recently. 

I’ve been studying David’s life and discovered a verse that gave the reasoning behind David not being chosen to build the temple of God that I had never noticed before. In this portion of the scripture below, God outlines His reason for choosing David’s son, not him.

This blog post delves into the author's journey of finding their personal word for the year 2023, which turned out to be "love."

Today is St. Patrick’s Day. We can be encouraged by the life, faithfulness, and love for God’s Presence that Patrick held. St. Patrick was not actually Irish. Rather, he was kidnapped by pirates at 16 years old and was taken to Ireland as a slave for six years. During that period of his life, he said that God’s Presence became very real to him. It was in the midst of slavery that Patrick began an intimate walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Crafted prayers are important because they allow us to pray more effectively and specifically, using the language and promises found in scripture. When we craft a prayer, we are intentionally choosing words and phrases that reflect our faith and trust in God, and that align with His character and will for our lives. This kind of prayer can be particularly helpful when we are facing specific challenges or spiritual attacks, such as the threat of witchcraft.

Saint Valentine's sacrifice for the sake of loving Jesus is an inspiring example for all of us. It reminds us that being a radical lover of God requires sacrifice, sometimes at the highest cost. As Christians, we are called to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. This means putting God and others first, even when it is difficult or costly.

What is a miracle?

I asked God this question the other day if I had ever witnessed one. I have friends who have seen legs grow out, cancers disappear, deaf ears hear, and metal plates dissolve, but I can’t remember seeing any of those types of things.

As a worship pastor, many thoughts can run through my mind after leading. But recently, God showed me the only question and thought that really matters after leading a set.

Is He pleased?
