Today: Revelation 17-19
If we did a survey, I bet that most people believe that church is…well, kind of boring. They see it as a place for people who are reserved. Stoic. Solemn. And maybe church should be those things at times…but shouldn’t it also be fun? A celebration of God and His awesomeness?
Perhaps nowhere is this tension more obvious in a service than during praise and worship. I’ve been to some services where I’ve honestly asked, “Would Jesus want to be here? Would He feel honored by this?”
I’m not going to write about worship styles, songs or instruments in this post. But I will say that no matter what your preference or the preference of your church, God likes to be celebrated—and He deserves it. Celebration is largely an attitude and approach to worship—you can celebrate God in a song, in your giving and in prayer—but you’ve got to put your heart in it.
Here’s what today’s passage said:
Praise our God, all you His servants,
All you who fear him, small and great!...
Hallelujah!
The Master reigns, our God the Sovereign-Strong!
Let us celebrate, let us rejoice, let us give him glory!
Tomorrow: Revelation 20-22
