The Practice of Praise

Plot

The body of Christ is experiencing another "reformation" - a reformation of worship; and it could be just as significant as Luther's campaign. We are discovering that God desires worship, it's good for us, the devil hates it, and - it's biblical. The worship renewal is sweeping across the body of Christ, and in varying degrees, most churches are experiencing a metamorphosis in their approach to worship as they consider the practice of worship - balancing the old with the new, and the priority of worship - returning to our first love. But as churches negotiate the reformation, important questions arise: What is the difference between a "traditional" worship service and a "praise and worship" style service? How can my church smoothly negotiate a transition in our worship style? What is the difference between "praise" and "worship" or are they the same? What is the difference between "Christian art music" and music for worship? How can I lead my church into deeper dimensions of worship? What is the difference between a "song service" and a "worship service"? What is the purpose of the New Testament church, and what is its first priority? Is praise and worship just for Charismatic churches?
