Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 11091 The question of whether dancing belongs in Christian worship stirs strong feelings in both directions. Some believers associate dance with worldliness and regard its introduction into worship as an unwelcome intrusion of secular culture. Others point to the dancing of David before the Ark and insist that physical, expressive worship is not merely…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 11014 The short answer is yes, emphatically. Worship is not confined to a building, a service, or a Sunday morning time slot. The longer answer requires understanding what worship actually is in biblical terms, because the question itself often rests on a definition of worship that is too narrow. If worship means singing songs…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 60026 This is a question many believers wrestle with honestly. Bethel Church (Redding, California), Elevation Church (Charlotte, North Carolina), and Hillsong Church (originating in Sydney, Australia) produce some of the most widely sung worship music in the English-speaking church. Their songs appear in hymnals, on projection screens, and on streaming platforms across every denomination….
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 11029 Few topics have caused more friction in local churches over the past fifty years than the question of worship styles. The so-called “worship wars” have divided congregations, exhausted pastors, and generated an enormous amount of heat with remarkably little light. The question deserves a careful, biblical answer rather than the tribal loyalties it…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 11027 Few words in the Christian vocabulary are more frequently used and more poorly understood than “worship.” In contemporary church culture, worship has become almost synonymous with singing. A “worship leader” leads the music. The “worship time” is the part of the service before the sermon. But the biblical concept of worship is far…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 11028 If worship is the response of the whole person to the worth of God, the question of how we worship is not a matter of personal taste but of biblical obedience. God is not indifferent to how He is approached. Scripture contains both positive examples and serious warnings about worship, and the pattern…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 9002 The word “church” is thrown around quite loosely today. People talk about “going to church” as if it were simply a building or a Sunday morning activity. But what does the Bible actually mean when it speaks of the Church? This is a question that deserves careful attention because understanding what the Church…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 1133 The word “deconstruction” has become unavoidable in Christian conversations. Social media is filled with stories of people, often raised in evangelical churches, who are dismantling their faith, questioning everything they were taught, and sometimes walking away from Christianity altogether. What does Scripture have to say about this phenomenon? How should we understand and…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 1122 Amillennialism is the view that there is no future literal thousand-year reign of Jesus on earth. Instead, the millennium of Revelation 20 is understood symbolically, referring either to the present Church age or to the reign of deceased believers with Jesus in heaven. How does someone arrive at this position? What hermeneutic, or…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 10112 Revelation 19:7-9 describes one of the most glorious events in all of Scripture—the marriage supper of the Lamb. This celebration marks the union between Jesus and His Church, the culmination of God’s redemptive plan, and the beginning of eternal joy. Understanding this event helps us grasp the depth of Jesus’ love for His…
