Share your praises!
I just heard a sermon that made an observation about how negative so many blogs can be. We’re not going to let our site be like that. So, share your praises!
Has God answered a prayer? Have you made progress in your spiritual life? Got a promotion? Reconciled with an estranged friend or relative? Been moved by the Holy Spirit after reading the Bible? Whatever it is, you can give God the praise and share it with your brothers and sisters in Christ so that we can offer up praises right along with you.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)
One Response to “Share your praises!”

Awesome! This is kinda weird, as I was just meditating on this scripture that I ran across the other night, found in Hebrews 13:15-16…
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. ? 16 ?But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. ?” (The NIV doesn’t have the word “well” before pleased.) What I really liked about this passage is that it said our praises and fellowship makes God “well” pleased. Not that it just pleased Him, but that it pleased Him well. You see when the Tigers win a game that is pleasing to Tigers fans, but when they win the World Series, why, that is well pleasing! I notice the different “emotions” that are associated with each of the above examples. Yes, praise God!
