Worship

excellence in the Islamic religion. The way I view spiritual excellence in the Islamic religion is spiritual perfection. The way that this can be achieved is acting as though God is watching you no matter what it is you are doing. Excellence is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for although you do not see Him yet He certainly sees you. Source: Sahih Muslim 8, Grade: Sahih Spiritual excellence is not easy at all to do, you most definitely have to do more than the bare minimum of the religion.…

God declares all the glory and wants us to praise Him. We sing songs to worship His name. Psalms contains the hymns of the Bible. Christians are commanded by God to sing praises unto Him. This book has broadened my worldview and has given me clearer understanding of music philosophy in the Bible and Psalms. I chose an interesting debate on Chapter 3, “Applause: For Whom Are You Clapping?” Is clapping appropriate during the service? Personally, I would call myself a traditionalist, but I’m not…

Shinto is the religion having a root in Japan. This religion worships natures such as mountains and rivers, a natural phenomenon, the gods appearing in Japanese Mythology, people who died with a grudge against, and regards them as all the gods and goddesses. So, this religion is said to be polytheism. This religion also gave Japan a lot of influence while the origin of Japan had been created. The origin of this religion’s name; Shinto is “随神の道(kannagara-no-miti)” which means we are with God.…

but what he said went something like this, “Ethan, we need to talk. I believe that you have talents the Lord has given you; however, I don’t think singing is one of them. We [the two worship leaders] have decided that you stink at singing and you should never really sing again. We’re not going to let you on the worship team because you would ruin our sound, but you can stay in the church choir because there are people who can cover up your voice. I hope this doesn’t hurt your feelings bud.”…

(gods or goddesses). Some beliefs that follow Dharma that I personally find very intriguing are that the Gods or Goddesses can take human form, or they can change their identities if they please. Along with the human forms, there are other forms of worship, sculptures. One of the most well-known Dharmic sculptures is the Dharma Wheel, but the wheel is a symbol of Buddhism that serves the religion as a symbol, much like a cross represents Christianity. Hinduism describes Dharma as a natural, law…

This union is marked by the achievement of complete harmony with the transcendent order. Therefore, the spiritual discipline that I recommend for this period is radical worship. My usage of the term radical in this context is designed to denote the idea of celebration. It is important to note that this time of celebrated worship is not defined by any particular style of music, dance, prayer, or…

Lets start with the Pagans; in this religion they serve several gods and goddesses called deities. It is important to the Pagans they worship and make offerings to the appropriate god so they will draw closer to the gods and goddesses, who in turn will show favor for the sacrifices made. Pagans feel their works will get them to the place they desire to be here on earth as well as in the…

similarities but they also contrast each other. Some of the similarities and contrast they have are in the rituals they do when they visit Mandir or the Gudwara, whorshiping, following a certain conduct, and even diets. In Hinduism when people go to worship to the deity in the Mandir the type of worshiping they do involves meditation, yoga and as well as contemplation. This happened when they offering to the gods. Although they do offerings they of course they of course Puja, which is a way of…

created for Christianity. For these stereotypes, about my culture are not only false, but can be very misleading; they can prevent people from walking with Christ. By following the Christian culture my identity has flourished, through fellowship, worship, and striving to be charitable. One of the first impressions I first got once I first walked into a church was the close bond the people had with each other. I strongly believe that fellowship plays a big role in the Christian culture.…
