Worship in Doubt

Sometimes I read when Jesus says, “O ye of little faith” and can’t help but imagine that He is speaking directly to me. I know as a church musician and leader, it is not normal to talk about doubt, but I truly believe that doubting can be a part of the process of maturity in the faith.

The Red Letters of Worship

As part of my worship blog series, this blog looks at the two instances in the new testament that Jesus uses the word worship. Or more accurately, Bible translators chose to use the word worship. I hope you will join me on this journey.

Worship Like a King

This is a continuation of my worship blog, taking a deeper look at the translated word worship throughout the Bible. This post focuses on the appearance of the word worship in the Christmas story.

Worship by the Numbers

Many of you might not know this, but I am kind of a geek! I love obscure information, history, and even some sci-fi. But most of all I love learning and numbers. This post takes a look at all of the times the word worship is used in the ESV translation of the bible to create a working biblical understanding of the word worship. So, if you are not into numbers, this post might be a bit dry for you, but I will do my best to make it as fascinating and enjoyable for you as it has been for me.

Blood and Fire

The idea of worship has been a topic that I just can't stop thinking about for quite some time now. In particular, I want and desire to know what worship truly means to God. What will God accept as worship and what in my life and as I lead worship in church is considered folly by God? I don't necessarily intend to answer all of the questions I will pose in my blog posts because I believe that there is a lot of mystery to God that will go unrevealed to me. This blog post is my introductory post to hopefully help fuel the fire for people of God who desire to worship the one and only God in spirit and in truth. Please join me if you are interested in learning/discussing this topic more. I plan on posting at least once a week through Christmas and nothing would encourage my heart more than having you join me for this journey studying God's word.
