Praise Him! - In Conclusion

Making Beautiful Music


Do you praise God as you should?
Would you praise Him if you could?
Do you praise Him in your church?
Do you praise Him in a lurch?
Do you praise Him in the car?
Praise Him, praise Him where you are!

No, I’m not auditioning for a role in “Seussical”. I just do some pretty goofy things when I’m joyful. Praising God fills me with joy. It really amazing how I can be giving Him so much in worship, and the whole time, He’s filling me up!

May I make a suggestion? We touched on this thought a bit at the very beginning of this study. You should continue to practice your praising. It will soon be our full time job in heaven – to praise our Creator and His Glorious Son! (Rev. 19:1,3)

Hallelujah! If you could see me now, I’m out of my seat, spinning around with my hands in the air singing “woo hoo”. Well, not really. I’m typing. But I was doing that a few minutes ago!

How Loud Is Your Love?

In case you haven’t noticed, Psalm 150 is pretty loud. Many joyful noises are being made to praise the psalmist’s Creator. Has your relationship with Jesus grown louder over the last seven weeks?

Review Psalm 150:1-6! WOW!!! You’ve memorized the whole thing! Hallelujah!

Now, take a moment to re-evaluate your level of praise. Have we reduced our complaining? Is our fear factor less than it was? Is absolute trust in your Father becoming more of a constant in your life? Has your praise increased? If you’re not where you imagine you would be at this point, just remember that you have to practice every day to excel at anything. Don’t allow yourself to become discouraged. Keep praising!

Remember that you are God’s instrument, and in His hands you are capable of making the most beautiful music.

Recommendations for Praise

Music: Anything that makes you want to dance!
Devotions: Breakfast With Jesus by Greg Laurie

That’s Praise?

Keeping God in mind, do one or more of the following as an act of praising Him. Or come up with ideas of your own. What the Lord taught you from the experience? (Mow the lawn, Buy a few extra non-perishable items when you shop to give to a shelter, Send a note to let someone know you were thinking of them, Invite a friend to coffee or lunch, Clean up after yourself at the movies, Give someone a ride)

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
