Is God pleased with our worship in this modern age? Becoming True Worshipers takes a deeper look at the priority, the process, and the power of true worship. ItÕs insights and principles will transform you and set you free.

What is the nature of true worship? What are we actaully doing when we meet together for 'church' on Sundays? And how does that connect with what we do the rest of the week? Vaughan Roberts answers these questions and more, as he brings readers back to the Bible in order to define what worship is and isn't, and what it should and shouldn't be. While we may struggle to define worship by arguing about singing hymns with the organ, versus modern songs with guitars and drums, or about the place of certain spiritual gifts, Roberts suggests we are asking the wrong questions. For true worship is more than this - it is to encompass the whole of life. This book challenges us to worship God every day of the week, with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.

Everyone worships. But Jesus tells us that God is seeking a particular kind of worshiper. In True Worshipers, a seasoned pastor and musician guides readers toward a more engaging, transformative, and biblically faithful understanding of the worship God is seeking. True worship is an activity rooted in the grace of the gospel that affects every area of our lives. And while worship is more than just singing, God’s people gathering in his presence to lift their voices in song is an activity that is biblically based, historically rooted, and potentially life-changing. Thoroughly based in Scripture and filled with practical guidance, this book connects Sunday worship to the rest of our lives—helping us live as true worshipers each and every day.

A Call to Return to Biblical Truths in Worship

King David was a man after God's own heart; that is how the Bible describes his passion for God and for worshiping Him in spirit and truth. Jesus told the woman at the well that the Father searches for true worshipers, those who worship in spirit and truth. But what does it mean to worship the Father in spirit and truth? In this workbook by Pastor Bubba Stahl, True Worship: 150 Days of Learning to Worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, you will learn what it means to become a true worshiper. Crafted as a series of biblical readings and devotions, Bubba defines what true worship represents to God and explains the various examples of worship found within the pages of the Bible. The devotions are paired with each of the Bible's 150 psalms, accompanied with scripture readings from the Old Testament and the New Testament. Written to accompany daily prayer time with God, the scripture verses and the psalms explore a personal relationship with God and how you can learn to worship God in spirit and truth. Each day explores different areas of worship, from defining what full and empty worship are to how worship undermines the destructive deception of the flesh. Readers will see these truths take form in their prayer lives as they experience God in an ever-deepening personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Bubba Stahl has been a pastor for the past thirty-three years. He and Beth married in 1972 and for the next ten years worked on several Texas ranches. On August 7, 1982 God called Bubba into the ministry. Bubba and Beth live in Kingsland, Texas."

About the book: Have you ever wondered what Jesus really meant when he told the woman at the well in John chapter 4, that the "Father was seeking people to worship Him in spirit and in truth" ? This statement from Jesus should be very closely examined, because what he is telling us is of supreme importance. We see in this statement, something that the Father is seeking and something He wants to find. Therefore we should understand worship completely, so that we can become those people the Father seeks. For so many years, we have simply assumed that worship is a sound, a particular song, a Church format or an extraordinary event. We will find by examining the scripture with a fresh eye, that this is actually not what the Father seeks. If worship is a type of song, then when the song is over our worship stops. Surely the All Powerful God who spoke the universe into existence, The Father, is not searching for something that frivolous. No, His search is for something far deeper and more profound than a setlist of carefully compiled songs. The rewards of becoming a true worshiper are eternal and life changing. May this book bless you as you seek to become someone the Father is seeking - someone the Father finds.

Something is missing from our worship today. We are a people with faith but without fruit. We worship with our minds but not with our lives. We sing with our lips but not with our hearts. We've traded knowing God for inconsequently knowing about God. You Are What You Worship is not about worshiping with a song; it's about worshiping with your whole life. It's about beholding the Creator and becoming the creature you were made to be. This is a call for all who wish to follow Jesus and live out their true purpose. It's a call to worship both in spirit and in truth, to value what God values, and to worship as God desires to be worshiped.
