Words matter. Do the words you release accurately reflect your position in Christ?Written for committed Christians who genuinely love God and desire to worship Him in spirit and in truth, this book examines whether some of what the mainstream has billed as worship music might not be worship at all. Well-meaning believers regularly sing songs written by songwriters or worship leaders and sung by the masses. But do those words accurately reflect the heart of the individual worshipping? Do those lyrics sometimes amend positional truths from scripture and compromise our confession?This book highlights your union with Christ and all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities you enjoy as a believer. It challenges you to think about the words you sing, written by others, and it invites you to consider using your own words-straight from your heart to God's, just as you do in prayer. You may find that you've been missing out and discover that you can access a new dimension of revelation and understanding while enjoying heaven on earth every day.
