WORSHIP ALLOWS OUR HEARTS TO FEEL AND
OUR MINDS TO REMEMBER HIS WORDS

 

Remember what Christ taught, and let his words enrich your lives
and make you wise;

to each other and sing them out in
, singing to the Lord with thankful
hearts.
And whatever you do or
say, let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, and come with him into
the presence of God the Father to give him your thanks.

the vaguest way of communicating truth, which is music — and he’s put them

.”
Harold Best

 

Don't destroy yourself by getting drunk, but let the Spirit fill
your life.
When you meet
together, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, as you praise the Lord with
all your heart.

 

Don't drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the
Spirit of God, huge draughts of him.

 

You sit as
the Holy One. The praises of Israel are your throne.

 

But the time
is coming - indeed it’s here now - when true worshipers will worship the Father
in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him
that way. 

 

. Their burnt
offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on my altar, because my house
will be called a house of prayer for all nations.
