This chapter seems to focus on how we can apply God's word not only in our worship but also through our daily lives. The book says that we can sing, read, show, and pray God's word. See may seem similar but they are quite different. Songs teach us who God is, what he’s like, and how to relate to him. Too often we can be tempted to choose songs because of the music rather than the theological content. We need to realize that when words are combined with music we can be deceived. Reading a Scripture passage can help people understand why we’re singing the next song. The same can be seen through showing and praying God's word. I can see this around me and in myself. I see myself forgetting sometimes that we have to integrate all parts of God including his word when I worship and in how I act. Seeing this chapter helped me change my view of how I worship again. Slowly throughout this book I have been learning more and more about the way to truly worship. I hope that I will be...

This chapter primarily focuses on how Worship has failed to magnify the greatness of God in Christ because we attempt to worship God apart from the Holy Spirit. We have to still understand that the Holy Spirit is part of the triune of God and key in worship. If we acknowledge our dependence on God’s Spirit and eagerly expect him to be working in power, then we should be humbly responsive to what he is doing. We need to shape our worship around the triune and hope that if Spirit is working through us as we convey the message to others that we will know when the Holy Spirit is no longer empowering us and change our approach towards worship to be more efficient. I can apply this to my life by changing my view on worship some more. I need to now add the Holy Spirit into my idea of what worship is and acknowledge that worship without the Spirit is powerless. I need to find a way to change my worshiping so that the spirit can work through my life and that others can see this happen.

There are several parts to this chapter the first being about Jesus now being our temple. It talks about how the Israelites used to worship and show their adoration towards God in the temple. It continues to talk about how Jesus said that they should destroy this temple and he will raise it up in three days. We have to acknowledge that Jesus was the "temple" that he was talking about and that our worship isn't not defined by the location but by our attitude. The next major part is knowing where Jesus takes place in our worship and he takes the role of the mediator between us and God. We can see Jesus acting as a mediator when he died for us on the cross in order to bring us closer to God. The last part that I would like to bring forward out of this chapter is at the end. How to glory in the cross of Christ. We first have to identify what exactly does the cross signify. The book states that the cross not only shows the magnitude of God's love for us but also the magnit...
