Bible Note: Greetings Steve! 1) Prostration: I simply don't see the physical position as being that important. The attitude is much more important. One can prostrate one's self before God, and yet not yield in one's heart. Subject used to prostrate themselves before kings all the time, while planning on how to kill them. I think word studies like yours can be very helpful in defining worship, but we can also fall prey to the error of legalism in worship. Some people shout when they worship. Some people cry when they worship. Some people sit quitely while they worship. All are legitimate expressions of worship. I would never say that one had to prostate only. But, that particular word does inform us that true worship must also include submission. 2) Japan: You and Charis should have alot in common! If you don't mind me asking, where do you live now? Personally, I've never been outside of the States. I would love to visit some other countries though! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
