DVO WORSHIP RESOURCE CENTER WORSHIP- The Source and Goal of The ChurchIn June 2007, the Daily Verse Online adopted a new mission statement: "Igniting A Passion For Worship In All Of Life." This highlights a shift in focus in the ministry of the DVO. Discovering, celebrating, and applying the truth of God's Word to all aspects of life is what the DVO is all about, and the foundational truth to be discovered, celebrated, and applied is this: the glory of God is what we were created to know and share. In pursuing this vision, the Daily Verse Online seeks to capute the hearts of believers with a God-centered joy of pursuing His glory. To accomplish this, the DVO ministry is four-pronged: Daily Verses, Sermon Podcasts, Online Evangelism, and Worship Resources. The DVO Worship Resource Center exists to call churches and individals to the passionate proclamation of the glory
of God. To accomplish this,we have divided the theology of worship into two categories: Worship With the Word,
and Worship with the Walk. Also make sure to check out the "Music" section, which has additonal resources by Brendan Beale.
-->Worship With The Word
This encompasses the church's ministry of preaching and corporate (or private)
worship. Worship songs should not consist of shallow emotionalism, but should be theologically sound with solid,
biblical truth. This does not mean that emotion and joy is excluded from worship; rather, the deepest joy
available to the Christian is to know his or her God. Worship is emotion grounded in truth.
Seeing and savoring the truth about who God is does not end with a rejoicing
heart. True biblical worship will always overflow into a joyful pouring out of one's life in the service of
others for the glory of God. Worshipping God with your walk is captured in Romans 12:1- "In view of God's mercy,
offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God- which is your spiitual worship." The Daily
Verse Online exists to encourage Christians to seek joy in God that will spill over in God-glorifying, loving
service. |
