My eyes nervously darted across the stage as I timidly stood in the front row of pews at my church. I stood in that spot because my friends had dragged me there for the first time. Not a regular church goer, I suddenly found myself surrounded by what they called worship. The experience intimidated me as they seemed so passionate about each word that came from their mouths. Every song that played spoke of God’s faithfulness to His people and his unwavering love. Unwavering love. Such a strange concept to humans who often sway from the smallest of winds, but that shows the great mercy and power of our God. Singing about such things, as I do early every Sunday morning, represents just one way to worship the Lord. I love giving praise to the Lord, but He provides so many more ways to worship Him. People don’t always worship a higher …show more content…

David wrote most of the Psalms, King David from the Bible, not me. These praises display an outpouring of his love for the Lord, similar to a paean. Through the many chapters of the book, David showed that he constantly has thoughts of the Lord which leads to giving Him praise. This shows true worship, because King David has an obsession with the Lord and truly gives his life to Him. This shows through by the fact that the Lord calls King David “a man after God’s own heart.” The Bible also provides many stories about worshiping idols, a practice known as idolatry. One story from the book of Exodus details the Israelites rebellion against God when they created an idol of golden calf to worship. This occurred while their leader, Moses, left them for a time to meet God on Mount Sinai. And although the people built an altar to a false god, the Lord still displayed mercy. Unconditional mercy. We would have nothing without the incredible mercy of the Lord, nor would the idol-building people of

When the pastor would give the benediction I somewhat understood what he was preaching about. I understood that the Lord would be there and he would always be there, but what I didn’t get is why people could hear him speaking and I couldn’t. Now, I see how growing up in a church changed me for the better and helped me realize I am better than the people I hang around with. The people I’m with don’t want what’s best for me; they want to see me fail. I know that being an outsider in church was normal because most people felt the same way I felt.

The author brought up many different examples of this, from the party like scene to rock band or just a Sunday worship service.

It may be impossible for a human to gain support from one God without receiving angry attention from another. Avoiding the attentions of the divinities may be the only way to ensure a less chaotic life involved with the gods. Odysseus receives ample support from the divinities but also ruthless opposition as well.

Sometimes it is easy to take the gift of salvation for granite, which is why we should review how and why it was given to us. The sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” was so effective because it showed people who they really are. The sermon opened people’s eyes to where they were spiritually, how powerful God truly is, and the things He can do but chooses not to. The sermon described how we are all born sinners and deserve to go to hell.

For as long as I can remember, every morning when I wake up, I first give thanks to God for this new day, then I sit at my desk and read the holy Bible {it s part of the breakfast of champions. } This is what I read.

The good news of Jesus Christ was illustrated in gospel songs. Field hollers became a way to praise God, but in a working environment. Many gospel songs focus on two major themes, rather than just one, and the message from the song can change depending on the person who is listening to it. The song “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” is a notable example of this idea. In the eyes of a 19th century Caucasian man, this song exemplified heaven as home; however, every slave knew that heaven was their refuge from life’s hardships.

Do these lyrics sound familiar, “Well I’ve heard there was a secret chord / That David played and it pleased the Lord / But you don’t really care for music, do you?” (line 1-3)?

Author Dan Lucarini shares his experiences as a former worship leader in the contemporary Christian music style in his book Why I Left the Contemporary Christian Music Movement. Much of what the reader can expect from the book–in terms of tone and temperament–can be found in the author’s dedication. In it, Lucarini expresses great remorse and regret over the role pastors and worship leaders who endorse Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) have had in the fracturing of the church over the years. Of those who were against the use of CCM in the church Lucarini writes, “They never ceased to warn us about the dangers of rock music to a Christian; but we did not take heed. . . . To them, we owe an apology and a debt of gratitude.”

While their topic of discussion was about the ark and dinosaurs, they kept pointing back to our supreme creator. They reminded us how God’s creation came because he spoke and it was so…and furthermore, it was good. I like a beautiful painted sunset to “declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1, King James Version). Because my family attends church, I received my first real Holy Spirit illumination when I was only 5 years old. I not only understood what it meant to be saved, but also explained the meanings of the elements of the communion to my pastor in such a way that made him reevaluate how much spiritual understanding children can have.
