Re; Worship styles.
As the bride of Christ, worship is not about us – it is
not so we can feel good or at peace with God or even think we did God a favor.
The purpose of worship is to bring glory and honor to the king of kings –
Jesus.

God is looking for in our worship a heart that is totally surrendered
to him. Worship has to be done in spirit and truth, according to John 4:23-23.
First, you are born again and have the spirit of Christ living
in your heart. Next, exalt and bring glory and praise to Jesus for who he is.
God is looking for intimacy in our worship. The reason he created man was for
relationship.
So, where does that leave us as a church? Should we have traditional
worship or modern worship?
We cant put God in a box.Worship leaders need to be led
by the spirit of God and not man. In traditional worship, there are some worshipful
songs, but most are written in different English than we speak today. Are we
singing traditional music because we are comfortable there?
God has called us to sing a new song to him – Psalm 33:3.
Modern worship is more relevant for today. Modern worship is freshly inspired
by the spirit of God. It speaks what is in our hearts to God today.
God doesnt want us comfortable. He wants us to move closer
to him in worship. He wants us moving on with him, not staying where we were
yesterday.
Go forward and worship God in spirit and in truth.
