商品簡介
Warnings to the Worshiper - Biblical Precepts for Spirit and Truth, offers insights into what the Lord Jesus Christ identified as the "spirit and truth" worship of God. By comparing and contrasting orthodox Protestant beliefs with various heretical movements, a practical understanding of the Biblical foundations for a lifestyle of worship is presented. Through each chapter, warnings are given to the worshiper of God within the boundaries of a right exegesis of the Biblical text, illustrating to the reader the critical importance of the inherent relationship between God, His Word, and what the Bible calls, "the sacrifice of praise." A principle point made is the difference between worship that is experiential, verses worship based on the applied knowledge of who God is and how His people are to respond to His work in their lives. Through the critique of unbiblical worship philosophies which do not share doctrinal unity with the Scriptures, worshipers are encouraged to avoid them, to be diligent students, rightly dividing the Word of God. In addition, the importance of the proper functioning of the gifts of the Spirit, and of church leadership, as well as how creation informs worship, are presented as vital to the Biblically defined ministry of "the body," necessary within the local church. Ultimately, the goal of this book is to be an encouragement for the Church, bringing glory to the Lord!
