Worship is an Art

            What does it mean when we use the word worship? The answer seems to mean something different depending upon who is using the word. On Sunday mornings in sanctuaries and auditoriums all across America believers gathered for what they called worship. But worship was also taking place in schoolhouses, in the back of biker bars, and in storefronts. Worship services take place on horseback, and in empty fields.  The word worship is often used interchangeably with singing. But there is so much more to worship than just music. Worship is not confined to a single place, or accomplished in a single style. Worship includes so many different elements, and all of them are important.

            The last year of my life has been invested in studying all that the scripture has to say about worship. What things fit into the concept of worship? What behaviors are important to be able to say that worship is taking place? Does worship happen on Sunday only? Can our job be called worship if we aren’t in the ministry? These questions have resulted in a new book, due out early May, called The Art of Worship.

            Those who have previewed the book have called it an essential read for every believer, a textbook for those involved in worship ministry, keys to opening hearts. One of my readers has already assembled a list of people that they are buying this book for.

            Have you ever wondered if something is missing in your relationship with God? Are you putting yourself in the place where God can bless you? The Art of Worship will explain the total worship experience in ways that are easily applied.

           Worship is an art, which takes practice. With practice we grow in our understanding of worship, sharpen our ability to experience worship, and broaden our understanding of what worship means. As a result, our relationship with God grows and we discover deeper aspects of his love.

           What is your worship like? Is it possible that The Art of Worship might make your worship even better? The Art of Worship is coming. Watch for a great pre-order offer coming next week.
