Do you have the culture of worship in you?

Do you have the culture of worship in you?

“We must create a culture of worship”.

Today I want to talk about this phrase. I don’t know if you too, but I’ve heard a lot. I want to share my view on her.

Culture of caring

First let’s understand the meanings of culture. There are several, such as cultivation, development, relationship, expressions…

What we hear most about is culture as the material or immaterial art that exists in a society. Culture is what shapes who we are and concerns where we come from. They are the characteristics of a people.

The Romans brought another, even deeper, meaning to this word. A meaning considered in discussions to date: Beware. Culture, for them, was fully the act of caring. Taking care of a plantation, a dance, a painting, a building…On today’s topic: TAKING CARE OF WORSHIP.

Desde quando o Senhor separou Seu povo, como descrito a partir do capítulo 25 do livro de Êxodo, Ele deu instruções detalhadas a respeito do local e de como as ofertas de adoração deveriam ser prestadas. Havia todo um zêlo, ritual e cuidado em relação a isso. Hoje a partir de Cristo, nós edificamos um novo templo espiritual e passamos todos a ser sacerdotes. Podemos em todo o tempo permanecer em constante adoração. Não existe mais a necessidade de um ritual de purificação para entregarmos nossas ofertas, porém o zêlo e o cuidado pela adoração passa a ser de todos nós.

Culture of sharing

“Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still. Teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding”

Proverbs 9:9,10

Worship involves deep respect and recognition of the value of what you worship. Taking care of this reverence so that it is constant and complete is often a difficult job in the face of the world we live in, but between us…

When we think about the culture of a people, we know that it was based on something older, that came from our great-grandparents and other ancestors. The culture of worship also needs to be like this, we must treat it as an important custom in our lives and share it with other people around us so that they can also cultivate it.

After all, more than being something of our ancestors, worship is something that concerns all eternity. From the beginning angels worshiped, creation in everything recognized the greatness of its Creator and when we dwell with Christ we will continue to worship. So study about worship, live worship and teach those close to you.

Culture of being an agent of transformation

“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord”

Romans 12:10,11

The culture itself can be kept just for you, based on your way of life and the things you are used to doing. But the way we do it often comes from the custom in which we were raised and taught.

Much of our development today is linked to the cultures that have formed among people over the years, which have been passed on from generation to generation aiming at care and closeness to the descendants.

The fact that you don’t withhold something just for yourself, shows a zeal for others around you. Showing how God changes your life and how taking with you a culture of worship transforms lives, families and dreams, is taking care of our brothers.

Culture of overflowing

“The water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

John 4:14

I pray that you will live God’s best and that your life will be washed with this presence. But I also pray that everything good you experience will overflow, reaching other people.

Talk about what He has already done and has done in your life, be a witness. Everyone needs to hear about God. We never know who is truly waiting for a word. So it’s always worth talking about! Also, when we lead a life of worship, we can be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit for Him to use in love.

Have you ever thought that starting this culture of worship where you live could be born from you? Have you ever thought that God can use you to heal people? Have you ever stopped to understand that it can be through your voice that God’s care will reach other people?

Another meaning of culture is action. Rise, do, speak, worship, witness. Act!!!

What have I done for God?
·Rapha Abreu

What have I done for God?

We go through some afflictions in our lives. We are human and it is normal that not everything is perfect. Even if your neighbor’s grass looks greener, it isn’t. We all go through difficulties. Highs and lows “For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground. Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward. “But if I were you, I would appeal to God. I would lay my cause before him.” Job 5:6-8 There are times when difficulties are minor and quickly resolved without headaches. There were times when my family and I were at the best of our lives, spiritually as well as emotionally and financially. Soon after, everything seemed to fall apart. It felt like we were being forcibly pulled out of that quieter moment. And then came the difficulties. In difficult times, if we don’t focus on God, we may lose a few nights of sleep. In those moments we always questioned ourselves with the title question: “What have I done for God?“. Do not hinder photosynthesis You have done nothing for God, for He does not change according to our works, whether they are good or bad. In […]

It’s not you

It’s not you

These times I heard a song that had the following phrase “And if my voice fails, You sing for me”. That single sentence, repeated only once, in a song lasting almost 7 minutes spoke to me a lot. Then I found out that the singer had gone through a surgery on her vocal cords and, even after the surgery, she would be unable to sing. During that time she wrote this song and added this line to the lyrics. Today she is fine and is singing again. It was a miracle from God in her life. Still, it wasn’t her story that spoke to me, but the snippet of the song. If you fail, do you continue? Think about what you do. Do you preach? Play? Sing? Teach? If something happens and you can’t do it anymore, what will it be like? What really motivates you to keep going? That’s exactly what God spoke to me. In my church I work in communication, recording, editing and writing, just like I do here on Bible Offline team. And the Lord asked me why I keep doing these things and that got me thinking. I write, record, edit, take pictures, but simply […]

The meaning of the gifts

The meaning of the gifts

When Jesus was born, the story tells that the wise men went to the baby and presented him with some objects. Have you ever wondered about the meanings of each gift given by them? “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11 The gold This gift represented and reaffirmed the royalty of Jesus. “The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty. The Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. Indeed, the world is established, firm and secure. Your throne was established long ago. You are from all eternity”. Psalms 93:1,2 The boy was born in a manger, surrounded by animals and hay. But he was still the Son of the King of Kings. Jesus was King right there in Mary’s lap and King in every heart that recognized Him as Lord. He just wasn’t a king who would reign in a palace. As stated in Philippians 2:6, He was God Himself in human form but, even though He was the greatest in the world, He did not attach to titles, but came to earth to fulfill His purpose […]
