WORSHIP
by Max Frazier, Jr.
A 4 Part Series
These are indeed perilous days for the Church of Jesus Christ. Satanic attacks upon the Church are occurring more often and the assaults are more intense. Furthermore, the content of the assaults has changed over the past decade or so. Often I receive word that a pastoral colleague of mine has left the ministry, or that a local church is going through a difficult time, with some even splitting. What gives me cause for grief is that, in many instances, the catalyst for the difficulty has been worship. That which is to be sacred and special to God has become the tool Satan has used to divide His Church.
A few years ago, as I was meeting with a local church and helping them to formulate a structure of priorities for their ministry, I was asked, "Max, what is worship? How can we do worship?" I had to honestly admit that I did not know exactly. In fact, I shared with these people that I needed to learn how to worship. God led me to a study of the Psalms and there I discovered some significant things about worship.
Since that time, I have had the opportunity of sharing with many others a biblical foundation for worship. I would like to share with you some of those biblical foundational truths that God shared with me. Some are indeed old truths that need to be rediscovered, while others are new truths that need to be learned. It is my earnest hope that worship will become once again an opportunity for the expressions of unity and joy before our Lord rather than a cause for bringing pain to His Church.
