12. Worship in Spirit and Truth (epub)

 Worship in Spirit and truth - the joy of the secret place

There is probably a greater diversity of public Christian worship today than at any time in church history. In the last thirty years there has been a revolution in worship. These changes have reflected the increased informality in western society and the musical tastes of the post-Beatle generation, they have also been a response to the genuine work of the Holy Spirit through 'Charasmatic Renewal'. As a result of this, there has been a great deal of discussion (and disagreement) about the place of different forms of worship and acceptable styles of music. Much less attention has been paid to the Biblical principles which undergird worship. By studying this book you will begin to appreciate that Biblical worship is much, much more than what you do in Church on a Sunday, and to grasp that God wants your every word and deed to be motivated by holy fear and adoring love. Worship in Spirit and Truth covers the following topics:

• The Father's priority
• Praise and worship
• Worship in the Old Testament
• Worship in the Psalms
• Worship in the New Testament
• Service and worship
• Giving and worship
• Rejoicing and worship
• The Holy Spirit
