Worship in the Old Testament
Worship isn’t about what moves us — it’s about who God is. The Psalms make that clear. They give voice to grief, celebration, trust, awe. Lament doesn’t cancel faith. Petition doesn’t crowd out praise. Worship rooted in God’s holiness and steadfast love isn’t forced or flashy. It’s honest, expectant, reverent. That kind of worship still reshapes hearts — ours and the generations watching.
Ministry of Movement: Banning Liebscher and Jesus Culture
From youth group worship nights to a global movement, Jesus Culture’s heartbeat has always been encounter. What started at Bethel became a call to cities everywhere: come alive to God. Banning Liebscher’s voice in this generation isn’t just about revival energy — it’s about becoming rooted in identity, shaped in hidden places and released with purpose. Revival isn’t a moment. It’s a lifestyle. A long walk, one surrendered step at a time.
Some Churches Are Driven By Fear, Others By Love
Some churches teach us to fear — fear the world, fear sin, fear those who are different. But Jesus taught something else entirely. “They will know you by your love.” Real faith means loving our neighbors, not condemning them. Fear breeds fury. Love brings healing. As David French writes, we need churches that act as a balm, not a blowtorch.
‘The Chosen: The Last Supper Part 3’: Finale Achieves Cinematic And Spiritual Greatness
In its Season 5 finale, The Chosen reaches for more than storytelling — it brushes up against religious art. With Roumie’s Jesus agonizing in Gethsemane, the series delivers not just emotion but encounter. The camera doesn’t just observe; it bears witness. You don’t watch these scenes — you feel them. And in the space between performance and Scripture, something sacred settles in. Something that feels a lot like worship.
Destination: Saint Patrick's Cathedral
St. Patrick’s continues to be the spiritual center of New York and the United States. It has become the place where people come to pray, mourn and celebrate God in a setting that honors Him in a way few others do.
Signing Church Services for the Deaf Is a Work of Love
At First Baptist Church of Suitland, the Holy Hands ministry is more than sign language — it’s a bridge to the gospel. What began with hesitant faith has grown into a team of interpreters ensuring Deaf members feel seen, heard and loved. Through dedication and God’s provision, this ministry reflects the beauty of inclusion, showing that sharing his word is both an act of service and a testament to his faithfulness. Look at God.
The Struggle Between The Kingdoms Of Empire and Peace
Jesus stood before Pilate and declared a kingdom unlike any other — a kingdom not of this world. Where empires conquer and dominate, his kingdom calls for love, humility and mercy. Yet throughout history, the kingdom of heaven has been mistaken for the kingdom of empire, blurring lines and betraying its radical nature. The question remains: can we live by Jesus’ kingdom today, knowing it may cost us everything?
Bible Study And Church Attendance May Stem Loneliness
A new study highlights the power of Scripture and church attendance in combating loneliness, an epidemic likened to smoking 15 cigarettes a day in its toll on health. Those engaged with the Bible or attending church weekly report dramatically lower loneliness rates. With forgiveness and meaningful connections at its core, faith offers a tangible antidote to isolation, inviting a deeper sense of belonging and community in a disconnected world.
Seven Weeks Screen-Free, Carlos Whittaker’s Idea of God Changed
After seven weeks without his phone, Carlos Whittaker’s relationship with God — and himself — changed in ways he never expected.

Carlos shares what he learned about worship, savoring moments and rediscovering who God created us to be when we disconnect from our devices.
Seeing The Holy In The Mundane
In the midst of daily routines and unexpected interruptions, we often separate the sacred from the mundane. But what if every moment was a form of worship? What if changing a tire or weeding a garden was just as holy as delivering a sermon? It's a simple yet profound concept: God is in everything — always present, always purposeful — turning even the simplest tasks into acts of divine grace.
Worship: Encountering the Person of God

But this simple, obvious idea has far-reaching implications that we may not fully realize. To draw out these implications, we begin with an analysis of our present practice, followed by an attempt to refine the concept of worship and conclude with some suggestions for improving our worship.
