I think its good to worship as a family but its also important to worship as an individual.
Worry worships the words of the enemy
Worship, from the Latin word meaning "worth-ship", is where we express God's worth to us in our lives.
Worship strengthens you. It gives you a sense of God's presence and ultimately His protection and provision.
Don't come into the presence of God to impress Him with something He gave you!
You don't have to be in church service to worship, you can be in your own home. You enhance your spirituality, through the instrument of worship, when you really connect with the invisible, almighty God.
Stress and worry is a residual of relying on yourself and being your own god, in control of everything. Worship allows us to rely on God's power to steer us through life.
My first church had seven members in it, and I have to remember, the rent was $225 a month and I worked for Union Carbide and took the check I made from work to pay for the rent to keep the church open.
When my father died, I had a real experience with Christ, a real conversion with Christ and I had it in a Oneness church.
I think most people who get into their 50s reassess what made sense and what didn't make sense.
We develop our propensity to forgive or not to forgive by what we see illustrated at the early ages of our development.
I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.
One of the things about my ministry is that I have never branded myself as being above the people or superior to people.
It's better to gather in righteousness than fellowship with darkness.
