Christian worship reveals God to be worth more than all else through allegiance, sacrifice, and praise. Christian worship is not music, but music can be worship. Biblical praise lifts up God in worship and others in faith. π Letβs commit to worshiping God with our lives daily, allowing music to enhance our connection to Him, but not define it. π
