I once heard someone say that “during our life on earth, we are walking each other home into an eternal life and the presence of God.”
During our earthly life and journeys together, may we enter into times of worship which will act as a prelude to a heavenly time of praise and worship, 24/7, that will be pure and majestic.
Psalm 95 reads:
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.”
In this website as we have meditated around some devotionals, questions, answers and insights it will be good to take time to worship the Lord in listening to two or three worship songs or hymns around the start and middle of each month.
Consider Two Definitions of Worship
“Where God is at the centre of things, worship inevitably follows. Where there is no spirit of worship, there God has been dethroned and displaced.” Sinclair B Ferguson
William Barclay, a theologian, says:
“The true, the genuine worship is when man (and woman), through his spirit, attains to friendship and intimacy with God. True and genuine worship is not to come to a certain place; it is not to go through a certain ritual or liturgy; it is not even to bring certain gifts. True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man (and woman), speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.”
Ecclesiastical and Classical Worship
In times of change and uncertainty the old hymns remind us that nothing is new under the Sun.
In my latest Question and Answer I want to share about the beauty of sins forgiven and how we can forgive those who offend us. As you listen to this beautiful hymn by the Heavenly Harmony Choir entitled I am Forgiven we can rejoice in the new life it brings to us all because of the sacrificial life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Contemporary
What is the model and instruction that helps us to know forgiveness of sins and to forgive those who sin against us? Yes as you knew it we find it contained in the Lord;’ Prayer which we can pray and put into everyday action to all we meet. Enjoy The Lord’s Prayer by Jon Guerra. ( With his wife)
Modern
Within the new Q & A it explores sin, forgiveness and how the Pardoned Peace of Jesus is sufficient for all our daily interactions and to know that sense of perfect Peace, Hope and Joy. Enjoy Perfect Peace by the Virtual Choir Song
“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
Also listen to John Rutter’s and the Cambridge Singers’ beautiful rendition of it.
