Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary lists 550,000 words. And it is a solemn and beautiful thought that in our worship of God there sometimes rush up from the depths of our souls feelings that all this wealth of words is not sufficient to express. To be articulate at certain times we are compelled to fall back upon … Continue reading “WORSHIP:
AWE; GOD: HIS AWESOMENESS”

Worship also means to “express in some appropriate manner” what you feel.… And what will be expressed? “A humbling but delightful sense of admiring awe and astonished wonder.” It is delightful to worship God, but it is also a humbling thing; and the man who has not been humbled in the presence of God will … Continue reading “WORSHIP:
AWE; WORSHIP: MEANING OF; GOD: HIS AWESOMENESS”

I’ve heard the ignorant boaster; I’ve heard the dull, dry ones; I’ve heard the eloquent ones; but the ones that have helped me most were the ones that were awestruck in the presence of the God about whom they spoke. They might have a sense of humor, they might … Continue reading “WORSHIP:

ADORATION; WORSHIP: DAILY”

Isaiah 6:1–8; Revelation … Continue reading “WORSHIP:
AWE; ENCOUNTER WITH GOD”

This leads … Continue reading “WORSHIP:
ADMIRATION; THANKSGIVING”

Then there is admiration, that is, appreciation of the excellency of God.

This admiration for God grows and grows until it fills the heart with wonder and delight. “In our … Continue reading “WORSHIP:
ADMIRATION; WORSHIP: AWE”

The whole import and substance of the Bible teaches us that the God who does not need anything nevertheless desires the adoration and worship of His created children. Deuteronomy 6:4–9; Proverbs 15:8; Luke 4:8 Whatever Happened to Worship?, 37.

How are we going to escape fear, when there are legitimate dangers that lie all around us? Well, here’s what the man of God says: “Don’t be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God and the peace of God which passeth all … Continue reading “WORRY;
