Whatever Happened to Worship?
Author: A. W. Tozer
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1600663249
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
A.W. Tozer calls God the "Composer of the Cosmos," the "Chief Musician of the Universe." God signals the birds to chirp their beautiful tune in the coolness and tranquility of a spring morning, simply because that is what He designed them to do. Each note is wonderfully constructed by God, uniquely bringing praise to His name. With this inspiring perspective on worship, Tozer invites readers to take a deep look at the ways in which we worship and why. He reminds us that we were created solely for this purpose and that worshipping the Father and seeking His fellowship is our primary task. It is also His delight. The newest revised edition now includes "Worship: The Missing Jewel of the Evangelical Church," first published in the Alliance Life magazine in 1965, and still so profound today.

Worship by the Book
Author: Rev. Mark Ashton
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310874297

Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
“What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.

Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.

Heavenly Worship from the Book of Revelation
Author: Esther Phillips-Dwyer
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0998247901
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
To truly appreciate the worship of our Lord God Almighty, and of the Lamb, God's only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, we must believe and confess that Jesus is Lord. Further, we must also believe that God raised Him from the dead. It is only then, that we can fully participate in true heavenly worship from the Book of Revelation. God does not only want us to sing a couple songs of praise as we worship Him. Instead, we can experience heavenly worship from the Book of Revelation, as we are taken into God's throne room, while being filled with His Blessed Holy Spirit, and engage in heavenly worship. This is what God requires, true heavenly worship, while we are here on earth. In heaven, we will worship our Lord forever. Therefore, why wait until heaven to worship according to the Book of Revelation? Rather, let us begin to worship with heavenly worship from the Book of Revelation, while we are still on the earth, for God is seeking true worshippers to worship Him.
