Preparing Your Heart


Over the last few weeks I have been writing short challenges for worship at El Puente. It gives us a few days to begin to ponder His vastness and prepare our hearts for worship. Here’s a sampling:

Pastor Steve recently told us of a church whose focus is worship. They have no outreach programs but have grown from 17 to 4000 people. The pastor of the church explains it this way, "If 17 people go into the street and look up, what do those who are around them do?"

I can't help believe that if we let the Spirit examine our lives, worship God in holiness and lift Christ up, then He will draw others to Himself. Let the worship begin.....and with passion!

There are many creative ways to give expression to your worship. Just take a look at the songbook Jesus used (the Psalms):
Bow down 66:4; Play skillfully 33:3; Clap your hands 47:1; Lift your hands 63:4; Speak 40:10; Burst into jubilant song 98:4; Celebrate 145:7; Kneel 95:6; Make music 57:7; Meditate 77:12; Say "Amen" 106:48; Sing Praise 7:17; Shout aloud 95:1; Sing a new song 33:3

None are required, and none are a measuring stick of spirituality, but each can be another avenue to express your adoration to the Lord.
