Hello
my dear friends.
Today's Psalms of Discipleship reminds of us the sharp
contrast between being entertained by others and entertaining the Lord.
May we all learn the importance of presenting our lives to an audience
of One.

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #28
Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life
Key Scripture: 1 Sing to the LORD a new song; Sing to the LORD, all the
earth. 2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His
salvation from day to day. 3 Tell of His glory among the nations, His
wonderful deeds among all the peoples. Psalm 96:1-3
Core Value: Worship
We live in an entertainment culture. We want to be entertained. This,
in itself, is not necessarily a bad thing. Entertainment can fill our
emotional tanks. The problem is when this legitimate activity bleeds
into our worship of God. Instead of being entertained by others, we need
to entertain the Lord. He needs to be the focal point in our concert of
One.
Here is the personal inventory question regarding
worship each disciple must ponder: do I want Jesus and others to
entertain me or do I want to entertain Him?
Principle #28 &
Personal Application: Quality disciples sing to the Lord as they daily
proclaim of His great salvation and tell of His glory and wonderful
deeds to everyone.
• We worship when we sing to the Lord and bless His name
• We worship when we proclaim good tidings of His great salvation every day
• We worship when we tell of His glory among the nations
• We worship when we tell of His wonderful deeds to everyone
Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…
Biblical worship is an energetic, enthusiastic, engaged lifestyle. What
kind of worship environment is most conducive to my worship of God?
(For example, is it solitude; with a large group; lots of music;
outdoors; indoors, etc.)
What kinds of thoughts fill my heart when I am worshipping the Lord?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I sing to You a new song. I praise You for I do not sing
alone. There are many others who are filling the earth with praise songs
for You. As I sing, I bless Your holy Name and proclaim the good
tidings of Your great salvation every day. By faith, I will tell
everyone I know about Your glory and the great deeds You have done for
me.
The Essential Core Values Of The Quality Disciple Are…
Grace—Worship—Bible Study—Prayer—Community—Service
