The Biblical Way
When you think of worship, what do you think of? Is it the singing, the preaching,
Communion, or perhaps even the prayers? The Bible uses several different expressions
of worship; some of which include singing, prayers, being still before the Lord, lifting our
hearts and our hands, offerings, reading of the scripture, preaching and teaching. Most
churches have done the "basic Bible food groups" for years: the singing, the praying, the
preaching and the giving. Depending on your church Communion is also a part, but that
hand raising, now that's a different story. We tend to just skim over those verses, but the
raising of the hands was a very integral part of Old Testament worship. It's not a
"charismatic thing" anymore, it's a worshipful physical expression. Enlarge your worship
repertoire, seek out for yourself ways of biblical worship.
Psalm 28:2 "Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward
your Most Holy Place."
