Some may wonder why I value worship more than praise; praise does not demand anything sacred; no connection or consecration – “let EVERYTHING that has breath praise the Lord” (Psalm 150:6) – however, worship demands a sacrifice (Romans 12:1); worship DEMANDS covenant. Birds, trees, foul of the air, beasts of the ground, & even the sinner may exalt & praise God without the necessity of what is sacred; covenant w/ God, but worship REQUIRES SPIRIT
" “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” "
John 4:23-23 (NIV)
