Worship Is...: The Most Awesome Activity in Which a Believer Is Ever Engaged

By Charles C Lake

Worship is indeed the most awesome activity in which a believer is ever engaged. Man was created to worship God! Understanding the many facets of meaningful worship can enrich the daily walk of a believer desiring to pray without ceasing and to practice the presence of his Lord. Taking just a few minutes each day for a month to meditate on one of those facets can be a fruitful investment of one's time. Worship Is... seeks to enrich both personal and corporate worship for every believer who is sincere in increasing intimacy with the only God worthy of our worship.
