Worship and the Bible

Here is week 2 of the class I'm leading called Exploring Worship.  This week, we review the biblical foundations for worship.  

This week I use these two books as my primary texts:

Daniel Day.  Seeking the face of God.  Macon:  Nurturing faith, 2013

Franklin Segler.  Christian Worship:  Its Theology and Practice, 1967

Here's one definition of worship.  To worship is to:  

•To quicken the soul by the holiness of God.

•To feed the mind with the truth of God.

•To purge the imagination by the beauty of God.

•To open the heart to the love of God.

•To devote the Will to the purpose of God.
