This post is the first in a series of blog posts about how we should worship. Previous posts can be found here and here.
4) We Worship God With Our Emotions
I wrote about this point a lot at my personal blog, www.adamdiehl.com on this post.
This point can be explained simply with some scriptures. As you read this, I challenge you to imagine these worshipful commands without emotion.
Romans 12:11-12 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Psalm 47:1
Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Habakkuk 2:20
The LORD is in his holy temple;
let all the earth be silent before him.
Now remember, we do not worship God because of emotion – but we do worship God with emotion.
5) We Worship With Our Body
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
‘Nuf said there.
