PRAISE VS WORSHIP

For years I have wondered about the phrase, "PRAISE AND WORSHIP".  What does that mean?  Praise and Worship Band...Let's enter into Praise and Worship...Praise and Worship Music...the Praise and Worship part of the service...etc. Are they the same thing or are they two different actions? Do we do both at the same time or do we do each separately during our Sunday morning service? And do we do them only during Sunday morning service?

I'm doing some studying on this and I  haven't even scratched the surface.  This will be an ongoing Post as the Lord leads me deeper into His Word.  And to let you know, I do not have all the answers.

WORSHIP: Everything you think, everything you say, and everything you do, reveals that which you treasure and value most in life.
You can Praise God with sin in your life, but you cannot Worship God with sin in your life.

By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, this is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Hebrews 13:15
Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.   1 Chronicles 16:8-10
Then David said to the whole assembly, "Praise the LORD your God." So they all praised the LORD, the God of their fathers; they bowed low and fell prostrate before the LORD and the king. 1 Chronicles 29:19-21
The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang; "He is good; His love endures forever." Then the temple of the LORD was filled with a cloud. 2 Chronicles 5:12-14

Can you see how large the scope of what praise really is? And this only 4 verses, there are many more we can look at.

Next I want to look at the different words used in the Bible for these words. Later I want to look at the seven steps to Worship using the Tabernacle as an illustration. There are seven  Hebrew words in the Old Testament for Praise and each one is a different definition for praise. Our English language has one word, praise. 

Come visit again and we will continue on this Journey looking at Praise and Worship.
