Expressions Of Our Worship

Summary:

In days past men of God like David created Psalms of Worship as an expression of their heart before the Lord. Today God is looking for that same deep expression of Worship from our hearts. As we stand before the Lord in His presence and He purifies us, we give back to Him a free will offering of thanksgiving and Worship which is well pleasing in His sight.
