Hebrews 12:28-29 “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” Our worship cannot be what we decide it will be. Our Lord asks for a certain kind of worship – it must…
Psalm 91: 14,15 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.” In exchange for our love we receive promises of protection and deliverance. How fair is that? And yet, we feel imposed upon to sing a song when…
Philippians 2:9-11 “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”…
Psalm 66:3-4 “Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!” So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name.” A favorite song of Christians everywhere is “Our God Is An Awesome God” as it speaks…
Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Do you hate to hear a perpetual cheerful person that never appears to have a bad day their whole life? When asked…

My spiritual breathing becomes shallow when I replace worship with my checklist of to do’s. Worship service attendance? Check. Monthly offering? Check. Weekly bible…
Psalm 91:14,15 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.” In exchange for our love we receive promises of protection and deliverance. How fair is that? And yet, we feel imposed upon to sing a song when we…
Psalm 136:1 “Give thanks to the Lord because he is good. His love continues forever.” What is your conception of God?

Psalm 100:4 “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” It happens twice a year at our house, that dreaded time when I’m put in the role of “etiquette” policeman. You know what I’m talking about, the thank you’s that go out after birthdays and…
Psalm 118:28 “You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you.” Try to picture the hurt in your spouse’s or child’s eyes if you only told them once a week or once a month how much you loved them and how thankful you are that…
