Praise and Worship
Understanding these Important Terms
Have you ever wondered why worship services tend to start with a fast song and end with a slow one?
This common practice is not one of personal choice or even of practicality. It is rooted in deep understandings of how the Bible instructs us to enter into the presence of the Lord. There is a protocol, a way it should be done. When we stop and think about this, it makes sense that the Scriptures would provide just such a pattern.
To understand this, it is necessary for us to understand the words we are using, especially, “praise and worship.” These terms are not synonyms.
