This coming September 30, 2018 there will be a WORSHIP EXPLOSION with the theme ”THE PLUG”. This will be held in Systems Plus College Foundation, Balibago, Angeles City. PAMPAC Annual President, Irene Gabrielle M. Mungcal, RPm says “It started with a vision from previous officers of the organization to have an event for the whole Pampanga. It was a plan made to awaken the true meaning of worship for the young generation and to establish that, no matter what you went through or going through, you can still worship God.”
What once began as a simple catchphrase to attract people towards Christian music has morphed into vague Christian-ese. We’ve tossed the phrase around without stopping to consider the meaning behind the words. The unintended result is that music, one of God’s gifts to aid us in worshiping, has for many become an end in itself. The danger of overfamiliarity and of misusing biblical terms is that the purity of our praise and worship actually ends up diluted.
Praise in the original Greek means to sing, to tell of, to give, or to confess. In simpler terms, it means to be thankful for God’s blessings, and to declare that good news to God and to others.
Worship, in both the original Greek and Hebrew, convey the idea of: “to prostrate oneself, to bow down, to fall face down, to pay homage and to pay respect.” In other words, worship is the highest form of honor and respect that we can show towards God. While worship can be done in public, its main directive is very different from praise. Worship is a direct conversation between you and God. It is highly intimate and personal.
Praise and worship clearly go beyond something we do in church or at a concert.
It is not just a title to be assigned to describe an activity. Rather it is a complete way of life for one who follows Christ. Praise and worship are in fact to be the foundation on which we live our lives. Without both, we can’t possibly be effective at being the hands and feet of God. To accomplish this, worship of God and of Him alone must be a first priority at all times. Through our worship of Him and the intimacy that comes through such worship, praise for Him will naturally flow from our actions and words. In doing this our lives will be a true reflection of Christ, from the inside out.
