In His Presence

WORSHIP is the SPONTANEOUS, HOLY SPIRIT''DIRECTED experience of the MANIFEST presence of God. This book begins with Exodus 33 as God tells Moses that he is not going to accompany him as he leads Israel to Canaan. Moses asks to be exempt from leadership if God is not present. God hides Moses in a cleft in a rock and lets him see the periphery of his glory. Included in the book is a careful study of the modes in which God makes himself known to people. The book also contains a study of all Bible words translated 'worship.' There is also a study of several failed attempts to worship. Also included in this study is a fresh and new look at the definitions of 'thanks,' 'praise,' and 'worship.' There is a study of ten events when God's manifest presence allowed the experience of worship. The use of music in God's house is also discussed. Further, the effects of God's presence are explored.
