A Reflection On Worship

In the past few years I have been hanging in place of worship. I do not like it anymore because I do not understand why we do this

Three years ago, I wrote an article titled "Three Worship Concepts". I did not necessarily agree with what I wrote, but I left regretful doubts. worship?

If worship is for our benefit, can not you always sing a song that better reflects our actual emotions rather than talking about all good and beautiful things? How is the pain, anger, and loss that we encountered? Why do not you express these emotions with our songs?

If worship is for the benefit of God, what type of god is he really? Creating us is selfish, asking us to sing generously in songs every Sunday morning.

Now that I've written these arguments, it seems a bit interesting that I am very enthusiastic about this problem, and I can see that there is a quite serious flaw in this way of thinking. Fortunately, however, I made small progress several months ago.

We live in my in-law house, my niece and nephew are with us. Before going to church, there was a small piece of paper on the counter. It says "I like your graduation ceremony", it is obviously my cooking, my 5 year old handwriting of my niece. Please click

Worship like a misspelling of handwriting is our attempt to express our deep love for God. My obligation knows my niece likes them - she does not need to take notes. But she felt compulsion. Like my duty, God does not demand us to mourn, but he doubtless prefers these Carols - I am confident that paper is not thrown away by other similar scribbled fragments doing. )

The video at the top of this article is one of my favorite songs so far - since it's been two years, it's not new, but my best friend Ryan Eichelberger I think I will write two guest articles) We led it in Whitland several weeks ago. This is a very moving time for our small community.

Taking the opposite selection method, I sent an email newsletter, handed down reflections of evangelism, a song of new worship, a short devotion, and started giving a few friends and classmates. This situation lasted nearly two years - before writing fads, I wrote and organized the content for over 100 students at three schools, but the desire to start and expand my efforts based on faith I was always in mine. As a college student of entrepreneurs, I spent four growth periods in the shadow of Silicon Valley and began to investigate the intersection of entrepreneurial spirit and faith more seriously. Meet Christian founder, entrepreneur missionary, and attendance at Urbana's Hack 4 Missions. I can not deny that I still fight these opposing powers with eternal and eternal influences, but there are already some lessons that may indicate that Christian faith can be applied to entrepreneurial fighting.

There are many definitions of worship, but some of them are recent origins, but my main purpose is to analyze various forms of worship. After all, worship means "doing", that is, working. So, look back over the experience of each worship and think about the idea on how our church can promote worship. It is one. We will briefly describe service events for each event. On Sunday, August 15th, 2010, I went to Lutheran church with my colleagues. He is the pastor of that particular Lutheran church. This worship begins with the sentence at the beginning of Psalm 124 edition "If the Lord is not with us, please let Israel right now". Then the priest continued and said, "The LORD is with you." The next step is frank confession, then the comfort and forgiveness of the Bible. Forgiveness is to admit that you are a sinner and humble yourself in front of God. Then, sometimes in two paragraphs the song of the Ten Commandments continues, there is a prayer between the two
