Set Your Minds: Worship in Spirit and Truth

Preparing for Sanctification

We have a lot to do getting a family ready, fed and out of the house in time for Bible class which can leave us feeling disconnected and without the proper frame of mind to go in to the Sacred Assembly to offer praise to our Father and Living God. So I am sharing a series of articles focusing on preparing our minds on things above; preparing our minds on service and praise to the Father. This rushing around leaves us feeling disconnected, out of touch and hopelessly unprepared for worship.…

Set Your Minds: Making Lord’s Day Preparations
Preparing for Worship For so many years, I felt like Sunday mornings were filled with rushing and lack of control. This was never my intention. I desire to be prepared both physically and spiritually to go into worship with a mind set to offer praise to the Father in humility of spirit. Read all of the Set Your Mind Worship Series for Women. As mom’s we often put the needs of our family ahead of our own needs.
