Is Your Worship Too Emotional?
…I will celebrate before the LORD. (2 Samuel 6:21)
Is Your Worship Too Emotional? This is a question I’ve often heard asked in recent years. At times I have been personally criticized for being too emotional during worship – usually after the Lord has deeply touched my heart and tears are streaming down my face.
His Love Endures Forever
Give thanks to the LORD for He is good, His love endures forever. (Psalm 136:1)
The Triumph of Praise

As the Deer Pants
It was 2003 and the song ‘As the Deer Pants’ was on my heart and lips. I was thinking about the deer and its thirst. At the time I had a thirst for worshiping in song and praying for the healing of others that my home church and family did not share. This thirst led me to go to another church an hour away from home. Somehow this thirst I had was filled there. I had just been there the night before and was questioning if this was the right direction for me. The motives of my heart, that’s what I was really questioning.
Kiss the Son
You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever. (Psalm 45:2)
Delight in the Beauty of His Holiness

The Fire & the Sword
May the high praises of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands.
(Psalm 149:6)
Until the Day Breaks
Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense. (Song of Solomon 4:6)
Presence
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47)
