Worship, Relevance, and Reverence

Below is a great video on the discussion of worship.  It’s about 55 minutes, but I believe it is well worth your time.

Above the Noise

Psalm 131 “I have stilled and quieted my soul…”

Read It:
Have you ever beheld something so amazing that it took your breath away?  Maybe it was the Grand Canyon, a newborn baby, an incredible sunset.  Regardless of the wonder, when we see something amazing, it stops us in our tracks.  We behold it with such [...]

Worship is a Verb

Psalm 29:2 “Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.”

Read It:

At some time or another, we’ve all done it.  We’ve treated worship as a noun, an event, an occurrence, or simply a part of a religious service.  But worship as we find [...]

Devotional: When Your Strength Fails

Philippians 4:13 (NLT) For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Read It:
“To err is human, to forgive is divine.”  We have all heard that old saying, but it’s really true.  Forgiveness requires a divine power.  It’s not something we can muster ourselves.
Whether our wounds are small or feel as big as the [...]

Devotional: Forgiving the one in the Mirror

Psalm 65:3 Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all.
Psalm 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.  I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD’ – and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
