Subject: What is true worship? |
Bible Note: Searcher56, Praise the Lord for your insight on worship. I myself tend to "cry" when in the Presence of the Lord, but realize that there are those who react differently. I've heard Pastor Paul Shepperd from the Enduring Truth ministry make the comment "Some people look as if they have been baptized in lemon juice, but my salvation brings me joy and makes me want to smile and give glory to God!" According to the Bible, even in Acts 3:8, it says "And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God." Is this how I worship?? Nope, it's sure not. But we have to realize that God judges the hearts of men. For my brothers and sisters that very well may leap and dance in praise and worship of God, praise be to God!! I seriously doubt that when they enter into His Presence that He will command them to stop moving or rebuke them for worshiping Him wrong. He made us all different and those differences are found in how we express our love and worship of the Holy One. hidden in Christ, Lissa |
