Worship is to give reverence and honor by humbling ourselves ie to kneel, to bow, to prostrate before the Lord God Almighty. It is to acknowledge by declaring that He is our Lord, our God and only He alone we worship. Praise and thanksgiving by singing songs with or without accompaniment of music usually comes before or after we worship.
Evangelical Christians had mostly stopped to prostrate, bow or kneel before the Lord. I believed the early Christians do so before the western church started to undo it. Look at all other faiths(Muslims, Budhist, Hindu, etc) and the Coptic, Orthodox and RC; they still prostrate when they worship. Therefore it’s important we prostrate, kneel and bow before God during part of Sunday worship service. Don’t take God likely, He is Almighty and worthy of our worship!

Thank you for your teaching, Sister Kim. It is true that there are many styles, sounds, songs of worship. I remember the words of a Southern Preacher that came out west to teach and I agree with him on this one point: So many churches have been built around people that have been saved for 30 years instead of centering their church in bringing people to salvation. Christian rock concerts, guest speakers, camp meetings, tent meetings, or whatever works… I say GO FOR IT! Heaven rejoices over one that is saved than the 99 that were left behind. Amen? Thank you again for your teaching. Blessing be upon you and your family!

I fell into the position of leading in worship at my very very newly started church. I have always loved to sing and play guitar but I’ve mostly done this in my highschool choir and in private. I feel overjoyed that God has allowed me to serve Him in this capacity but at the same time I have becoming aware of the huge responsibility this really is. I am beginning to search out support on the internet. I realize also that I can’t do this unless I allow myself to be led by the Holy Spirit. The Pastor enjoys every time I sing and play, but I can tell in my spirit that some Sundays are way better then others. I can only pray that each Sunday and inspirational by the Lord. I pray for every Sunday that the Holy Spirit just explodes in our singing. I see I will be on my knees in prayer more often.

Thanks for this article. I have served as a lay preacher for 45 years and have seen many different churches and worship styles. Unfortunate that I see now oh-so-many congregations closing (or stagnating) because they refuse to change. This can be the old shocked by the new, as well as the new with no respect for the old. I won’t go on! I really appreciate what you have to say. Thanks again.
