The Worship Driven Life

Christian musician Steve Camp (who happens to be Reformed) has posted an interesting article series at his Web site entitled The Worship Driven Life. In Part One he writes about doctrine in worship and worship being on the downgrade (borrowing a term from the days of Spurgeon). In Part Two he writes about what constitutes genuine, authentic, Biblical worship. He focuses primarily on what worship is not and will turn to what worship truly needs to be in next week's article.

The series is updated on a weekly basis with new articles posted on Thursdays. His site has some other excellent resources and it is worth browsing through (this is a good place to start).

This is an excellent article! I particularly enjoyed Part 2.

Worship requires that we keep a proper perspective/heart attitude of God - at all times. (Rom 12:1) How do we do that? By staying in the Word. Then we need to pray and prepare our hearts before we come together.

When we come together, each of us brings our testimony of Praise and Glory to God - in good times and hard times. God is Faithful. His Word is True. That is what “True Worship” is all about.

Thanks for sharing this article Tim!

I really appreciated Steve Camp’s articles — especially Part Two he writes about what constitutes genuine, authentic, Biblical worship. He focuses primarily on what worship is not. At the end of the article he says he will turn to what worship truly needs to be in next week’s article. Does anybody know where to get this next article? I’ve looked everywhere with no success. If you’ve got his article on 6 important and key things that constitute true biblical worship I’d appreciate getting a copy.
