Thanks for Coming!
Welcome to Calvary Bible Wesleyan Church
Let's join together to be the church that makes a difference.
Psalm 111:1 “Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the
assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.”
The writer expresses several things in this single verse. First of all, he encourages
everyone to praise the Lord. This he will do by example, “I will praise the Lord”.
In another place, we read “Praise is comely”. In that place, praise is compared to an outfit a person may
wear that fits them well, and adds to their appearance, and causes them to stand out in a good way.
A couple of questions come to mind immediately. Is your behavior and worship causing
others to follow suit? And, have you determined to be a “praiser” yourself?
The next thing the writer proclaims is that he will praise the Lord with his whole heart. In other words, there will be no half heartedness in his praise. I wonder how many times we come into the sanctuary and offer to God a half hearted worship? In this respect, we must all be on guard, unless we become half hearted worshipers. I’m afraid this happens more than we can imagine. How many times we come in with other things on our mind, where we sit and the service seems to drone on without our participation. The service is not a place for us to be entertained, but for us to entertain the presence of God.
Notice also we are admonished to do our praising publicly in the assembly, and in the congregation. The hardy amen’s, and the boosting of the preaching outwardly was common place in days gone by, but now there seems to be a silence that does not magnify His holy name in praise. Let us not be guilty, but let us praise the Lord with a whole heart.
