The Art of Worship Archives
May His Kingdom Ever Increase On Earth As It Is In Heaven
The Art of Worship was an article blog birthed in 2014 and then shuttered in 2016 only to resurface in the Summer of 2023 from a desire to convey the truths of God’s Word instilling in those reading a sense that worship is not something you just do on Sundays and Wednesdays but rather it is an all-encompassing way of life. Worship permeates every facet of our lives as believers. Everything we say, do, and think is saturated with the worship of something or someone. Let us do well to keep guard over our lives and doctrine being living sacrifices unto the one true God and Jesus Christ who He sent to live the life we could not live, die the death we deserve, and be raised to life so that we may walk in newness of life.
This vision has not ceased but rather it has developed into something more. There is a common mantra out there in these modern times that shouts “All Of Christ For All Of Life” from the mountaintops. What started as The Art of Worship has now developed into Grace & Truth Articles. We have decided to leave the original articles here for archival reasons. For latest articles please click the button below to be directed to the Grace and Truth Press site. As we continue to grow as a ministry, there is one mantra we would like to add to “All Of Christ For All of Life” and that is “May His Kingdom Ever Increase On Earth As It Is In Heaven”. Our aim is to provide rich and robust theological content for the edification of the local church. We hope you are blessed by our content and pray the Lord Jesus Christ will grow you in the knowledge and understanding of His Will through His Word by His Spirit.
Why I’m Listening to the Bible in 2024
I have found that listening to the Bible makes me notice different things than when I read it. God has the power to reach my heart through my ears just as powerfully as my eyes.

When the Holy Spirit Comes to Church Pt. 5
Submission is a bad word in our society, but there is an intricate connection between authority and worship.
Gleaning from the Lives of Saul and Samuel
There are characters in the Bible to whom you may be able to relate, and they might have even significantly impacted your life. I would like you to think, mourn, laugh, and praise God with these two characters in the Bible: Saul and Samuel.
Family Worship in the Home
Many Reformed Church Elders want strong members in their faith. Solid in Apostolic Doctrine, and with a heart on fire for the Gospel of Christ.
The Chiastic Structure of Redemptive History
God is a speaking and revealing God, who communicates personably. He is not like the silent, non-existent pagan gods.
Turning Cheeks or Tables?
One of the most popular movements in evangelicalism today is the cult of “niceness.” This desire for niceness has become so intense within certain circles that it trumps the desire for Biblical truth and doctrinal clarity.
Pastors, Race Cars, and Pace Cars
I have observed that pastoring, teaching, preaching, and other elements of ministry life can often feel like a race. If you are a pastor, teacher, or preacher, you know the feeling that I am describing.
We Are The Suffering Servants
Suffering will happen in the life of the Christian. If you are living out your faith, engaging the world, and making sacrifices to spread the Gospel, you will suffer.
The Ultimate Goal of Preaching: A Sovereign Smile
By proclaiming the Word of God, the preacher desires to see Christ’s church built up and nourished to do the work her bridegroom calls her to do.

Most who revile the Doctrines of Grace hate God’s sovereign election of sinners. The reason for this hatred is straightforward: man from the very beginning has wanted to be God.
God’s Sanctifying Wrath: Psalm 5:3-6
Love is not merely an attribute of God: it is the essence of His Person.
When the Holy Spirit Comes to Church Pt. 3
The church should not sing shallow songs but ones rich and full of the gospel.
Abundance Mindset and Lead Insecurity
Money is talked about so much in the scriptures as a spiritual health indicator.
Rome Was Not Built In a Day
If you are looking for an objective moral standard that is unchanging then you will only find such a standard in the Holy Scriptures themselves.
The Way of Nature and Grace
There are two ways to live under the sun. They are the way of nature and the way of grace.
Ephesians: Blessed In The Beloved With The Riches Of Grace
When God’s grace is bestowed upon a sinner in salvation, the glorious splendor of God is revealed and is known, but maybe not seen by the eye yet known in His great grace and work of forgiveness in salvation.
Praying To God: Psalm 5:1-4
It may be observed that prayers may be divided into two kinds: Expressed and Unexpressed.
