Prayer has a beautiful way of guiding our emotions to God. Confession is no different, we acknowledge and unpack our emotions, hurts and failures before Him. It is also where (not limited to) God meets us just "as" and "where" we are.

This article is a follow-up to my article "The Biblical Story of Worship In Less Than 1,000 Words". Biblical history ended with the completion of the book of Revelation (96 A.D.) and the death of the apostle John (98 A.D.). However, the story of Christian worship continued to be written through three major eras.

Jesus’ life is the supreme example of worship. He is the lesson. Everything Jesus did and said was a demonstration of true worship. Jesus understood that, because worship includes living a life that honors God, the way you respond to temptation has a profound impact on your worship. When the devil confronted him in the wilderness, Jesus responded by talking about worship...

Is Ash Wednesday something foreign to you? Or is it a day in which we are reminded of God's mercy that leads us to the cross of Christ?

Most Christians look at worship from a cultural and/or traditional perspective, but what does the Bible actually say about worship? Quite some time ago I was preparing to present a worship seminar at a church. As I was setting up my equipment, the minister of music assisted me. At one point he casually mentioned, “I’m so glad you’re here. The people of our church seem to have the idea that worship equals the sermon and the sermon equals worship. To them, there are no other variables. I’m hoping you can help them see a broader picture.”
