Set Your Minds: Worship in Spirit and Truth
O’ Worship the King Worship is not about ourselves. It is not about how we feel or how it makes us feel. Worship is to give honor to God through adoring reverence. Worship is about adoring HIM. We Praise Him through the act of expressing our adoration of HIM. Worship is not about me, it is not about you, it is about Him. Doing this requires us to humble ourselves and magnify Him. “I will praise the name of God with a song, an will magnify Him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 69:30.** When giving honor and praise to the God of all creation, how should we do so?

My entire goal for him is to teach him to love the Lord, to…

Preparing for Sanctification
Set Your Minds: Sanctification Preparing for Sanctification by Preparing Your Hearts As mom’s we often are rushed on Sunday mornings. 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. I found that for me, that extended especially to the mornings of the Lord’s Day; because I knew that it was the right thing to do, take care of…
