This post is the first in a series of blog posts about how we should worship. Previous posts can be found here, here, and here.
6) We Worship With Physical Expressions
The list below is by no means exhaustive. Nor is this list prescriptive (you must do these things . . .) This list is meant to be descriptive (here are some things you can do . . .).
- Kneeling (Phil. 2:9-10)
- Bowed heads (Micah 6:6-8)
- Lifted hands (Lamentations 3:40-41; Psalm 63:3-4)
- Dancing with joy (Psalm 149:3)
7) We Worship With Our Lives
This is taught in Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies [entire lives] as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
“If you are not a private worshipper, you will not likely be a public worshipper. You may go to church, and go through all the motions. But you will not likely really worship. Trying to worship publicly, not having worshipped privately, is like the dry heaves: You are trying to bring up something you don’t have in you.” – Paul Faulkner
