What is the definition of worship?
“Worship is the believer’s response of all that he is—mind, emotions, will, and body to all that God is and says and does. . . . It is a loving response that is balanced by the fear of the Lord, and it is a deepening response as the believer comes to know God better”
(Wiersbe, W., Real Worship, Oliver Nelson, 1986, p. 27).​​​​​​
The Need for Reformation in Worship
Voddie Baucham
Reformation in Worship is more crucial now than ever! Worship seems to have a life of its own, distancing itself from the humility that arises from acknowledging sin and glorifying God. It appears to have strayed far from Scripture, prayer, praise, and communion. We should integrate the key principles of worship into every aspect of our lives, not just during Sunday mornings:
-
A biblical foundation based on the "regulative principle," which asserts that only practices outlined in Scripture be observed.
-
A focus on Christ-centered worship is vital, emphasizing His person and work.
-
Reformation worship ensures that the message of salvation and the five Solas (Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria) are effectively communicated and practiced.
-
Reformation is an ongoing process (semper reformanda) of reflecting on why we worship. It's crucial for grasping the significance of worship and actively participating in its practice.
Engage your Study of Worship
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:1-2 ESV
