Praise Him for His goodness Psalm Praise God for His kindness Psalm Praise God for His salvation Ephesians 2: In time, it will become as normal as taking a breath. Sometimes we praise God inwardly as in Psalm 9: Praise to God, while offered particularly by His children as the freewill expression of grateful hearts, will one day be offered by everyone!
He is King over all the earth. All nature praises God Psalm The sun, moon, and stars praise Him Psalm The angels praise Him Psalm Even the wrath of men is used by God to praise Himself Psalm Children are to be taught to praise God Psalm In reading through it, I found myself rejecting much of what Clark says not because of what he said, but because of the underlying theology behind what he was saying.
Malone presents what I consider to be a more Biblical approach to baptism. Having said that, toward the end of the chapter, Clark offers some very wise and pastoral insights into the practice of baptism and also some practical things to think through in determines whether a persons baptism should be considered a valid one. Jones and Terry L. Johnson discuss the importance of restoring the singing of psalms and hymns to our worship.
Both Johnson and Jones do a wonderful job at showing the importance of restoring hymns and psalms to or worship.
21 Gratitude Bible Verses: The Power of Giving Thanks
Jones in particularly good job at showing how a pastor or worship leader can begin incorporating hymns into the worship service. But for the good that these men did in these two chapters, there is something glaringly lacking. What was glaringly lacking in part two was a chapter on the singing of spiritual songs mentioned in Eph 5: Jones notes, "Fifteen years ago the idea that one would need to argue in support of the existence and use of hymns in the worship of the church would have been laughable We should not be surprised that worship and worship music in evangelical churches have followed the path of our culture.
Many churches within the reformed camp have seen the problems with some of the modern praise music that lacks doctrinal content or a theologically true message and have over-reacted, throwing out the baby with the bath water. If we truly hold to the regulative principle of worship, the very thing Give Praise to God argues for, reformed churches need to consider how they can be singing in the corporate worship service, Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Section 3 of the book deals with the very important topic of preparing for Biblical worship.
In chapter 12, Donald S. Whitney addresses the importance of private worship. While, "the weight of Scripture tilts the scale decidedly in favor of the priority of public worship," it is also important to understand the importance of private worship. Arguing from the Scriptures, confessions, church history, and pragmatically, Whitney stresses, quite compellingly, the importance of Biblically ordered, daily, private worship.
Ligon Duncan III team up to give a call for families to engage in worship together as a family. Whether you are committed to worship as a family or considering how your family can begin worshiping together, Duncan and Johnson will not only elevate your understanding of the importance of family worship but also give some very helpful and practical advise for fathers leading their family in worship. I was particularly impressed with their section dealing with worship as being the covenant responsibility of the parents.
While on one hand, as a Baptist, I do not agree with the level of continuity between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant that Duncan and Johnson propose, nor do I agree with the underlying presuppositions behind their line of reasoning, I can stand with them as they stress the importance of a father leading his family spiritually and seeking to be faithful in bringing up his children in the Lord.
Duncan and Johnson give some practical ways in which fathers can begin leading their families in worship. I often think of leading my family in worship as reading and teaching the scriptures to my children, praying with my family, and singing songs of praise together after dinner but I was challenged to have a much larger view of family worship. We should ask them about the content of sermons, we should ask them about the Scriptures that they have memorized in Sunday school.
We should aim to see how far they understand and to know and learn their souls. Needham begins by asserting, "Unless we intend to make a virtue of solipsism, any serious consideration of worship must take into account the history of worship, as a sort of running commentary on Scripture, a commentary embodied by practice and preserved in literary monuments, especially liturgies.

Give praise to God closes with what is more of a challenge and cultural commentary directed to the church today than a history lesson. Michael Horton begins by establishing where the church is in the big picture of the history of worship and moves on to ask whether we are really the product of our culture and finally proposes a way to move ahead into the realm of Biblical worship. Horton's discussion on worship and culture is a worthy read for every Christian but especially those who propose creating worship that reflects the culture we live in.
Give Praise To God is great book that would come highly recommended by this reader for any pastor, missionary, or worship leader or person who is serious about worship. It sets forth a vision for developing and maintaining Biblical worship in the church today while at the same time keeping both feet in the Scriptures. Give praise to God is not without its flaws, but for those who understand the theological debate between a Presbyterian Covenant theology and the Baptist understanding of Covenant theology, it is a worthy read.
This book is a very well-written and thoughtful examination of the various aspects of worship, written from a Reformed perspective. Before you begin, it's important to know that this book does not define "worship" narrowly to mean "the singing time of the service," but the entire Lord's day service. Each chapter touches on a different topic, beginning with the very foundational question: Does God care how we worship? There are a couple of chapters that answer this question which the authors answer "yes" as they outline the regulative principle of worship.
Then subsequent chapters discuss expository preaching, hymnody, the Lord's supper, baptism, public prayer, etc.

The Bible Verses About Worship And Worshiping the Lord in the Spirit
Sound study and presentation of worship and its place in the regular gathering of God's people. I do not come from a reformed background and find the book extremely cogent, thoughtful and useful. It confronts the modern notion of worship. One person found this helpful.
The essays deal with contemporary issues surrounding modern worship and examine cultural influences that have stormed into church services. This book is a well-constructed and sanctified plea from various steady voices that we stay true to the vision delivered to men by a holy God. The deficiency of modern worship is that it is visibly man-centred and continues to seek solutions to its problems through culture-related methods, and not through means that are conceivably permitted by scriptural sanction.
The purpose-driven turning to various forms of media to attract and entertain the crowds, remind us of the golden calf, as Michael S Horton so well reminds us, which sole attempt is to overthrow established mediums in the church worship service. The Bible is to be central in forming our image of God and informing our worship of Him.
Corporate Worship, Edmund P Clowney: Paul's letters are read to the church in assembly, and this is true of the other epistles of the NT. As the assembled people of God, and the fellowship created by the Holy Spirit, the church must gather in corporate worship. Expository Preaching, Albert Mohler Jr.: Such preaching would confront the congregation with nothing less than the living voice and active word of God. That confrontation will shape the congregation as the Holy Spirit accompanies the word, opens eyes, and applies that word to human hearts.
The confusion and carnality that reigns in so many evangelical churches today shows the disaster that such well-intentioned mistakes work in people's lives.
