This is another extra resource for those going through the Pure Praise worship study. Please utilize this list of Hebrew definitions for words used for praise in the Old Testament. There are several Hebrew words that are translated as “praise” in most English versions. We strongly encourage you to go deeper in studying these amazing word-pictures.

read moreWeek 9 Day 1: The Three Sources of Temptation
This is an extra resource for people going through the Pure Praise worship study. For Week 9, Day 1 The prince of the power of the air is not the only source of our temptations. Our own fleshly nature and the world around us can also tempt us to go astray. (See Ephesians 2:2-3) I like Dr. Adrian Rogers’ summary of how we are to combat each of these tempting sources. He said that when we are tempted by the value system of this world we must have faith in God and His promises to us. 1 John 5:4 says, “This is the victory that overcomes the...

Another extra resource for readers of the Pure Praise worship study: For Week 7 Day 4 (regarding Colossians 3:16) While we find Christian hymns in the church at a very early period, as one scholar admitted, “Our information regarding the hymnology of the early Christians is very limited.”1 Most agree, however, that the “psalms” Paul referred to are the original Psalms written by David and Asaph.

This is an extra resource for people going through the Pure Praise worship study. For Week 3, Day 4: In our anchor narrative here in 2 Chronicles, we find two of God’s revealing names: Elohim, translated “God” in our English Bible and Jehovah, which is written as “LORD” (in all caps) in the English versions. Interestingly, Jehoshaphat and Jahaziel used both these names for God an almost equal amount of times. That’s significant when we understand better what these two names mean. Elohim carries the...

This is an extra resource for people going through the Pure Praise worship study. For Week 3, Day 5: Beyond the four explained in the study, another benefit of knowing God is energy in serving the Lord. I will never forget as a teenager how tired I felt one Sunday afternoon. After an entire morning and afternoon of ministry activities, I was traveling to yet another engagement where they expected me (and rightfully so, I might add) to be my regular, energetic and happy self. Truth is, all I wanted to do was go home and chill. I simply...
