Thanks for this series I pastor a small rural church in central Texas while I am in college. The worship leadership is inexperienced and slightly apathetic. I hope this will inspire them to realize the importance of worship.

Bob,

I have been reviewing your posts on defining worship. What a help they have been to me personally. Our church leadership has been wrestling with the subject as it relates to leading people to worship corporately. I am going to recommend that all of our leadership, and especially our worship leader, take a contemplative look at your posts. We need definition badly, and from that starting point we can teach our poeple and we all can experience true worship together. Thank you.

Thanks for this series of posts on the definition of worship. I realize I’m reading this quite a while after the posts were written, but I still wanted to thank you for your efforts in getting these definitions down. Words certainly matter and as a result, definitions matter too. I stumbled across the blog searching for the William Temple quote. (great one!) Anyway, a belated thank you for getting your thoughts down electronically.

Peace.

I appreciate so much your comments about worship being ‘consistently passionate and God-honoring actions in all of life.’ I admit this is something I have always struggled with and am sure I am not alone. So many of us, including me, think of worship as being only about music and singing. It is so much more than that and it is so easy to forget. A good resource I found recently was Louie Giglio’s book “Wired: For a Life of Worship.” It articulates the heart issue of worship and how all of our life should be worshipful. Thanks again for your thoughts on this important issue.
