Description
What is worship?
Biblically-speaking, worship might mean a lot of things: a celebration of God and his glory, a display of reverence and awe, an act of humility or prostration before our Creator.
But what does this look like today? And do churches of today--of any tradition or denomination--really worship in a way that's biblical?
Called to Worship is a deep dive into what worship means in the Bible. Vernon Whaley--Dean of the school of music at Liberty University--investigates each individual book of Scripture to uncover the tapestry of instruction and insight into God's idea of worship. With this book, you'll learn:
- How to see through the comfort zones of the modern church's worship rituals and routines.
- The biblical principles of worship and why understanding these principles is essential in our discipleship and important to our creator.
- How the life of Christ serves as a living guide to worship throughout the entire Bible and the history of Christianity.
The Bible describes a rich history of Yahweh worship--offered first by the hosts of heaven in eternity past, and then by mankind, from Creation to present day. This book is a call to understand and participate in that richness.
