Lead Pastor Bill Grandi of Owen Valley Christian Fellowship in Spencer, IN blogs about "full body worship."
There is another type of full-body worship-the kind that takes place every time God’s people get together. When the body (in our case known as OVCF) worships. Some laugh. Some cry. Some raise their hand or hands. Some put their hands across their heart. Some sing. Some are silent. Some whisper. Some sing out loud. Oh, the sweetness of that time!
So…you may be wondering what in the world made Bill think of this? Because I was reading from Psalm 71: “I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long…” (verses 22-24a) Notice the use of the instruments and also your physical characteristics. If that is not enough all you have to do is read the Psalms each morning and your eyes will open ever further to the importance of worship and entering into worship with your whole being.So…tell me…when have you experienced full-body worship? I would love to have you share your experience with me and others.
All Scripture is ESV.
