Dr. Paul S. Jones is the organist and Music Director at historic Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. He has composed or arranged more than seventy sacred works. He has recorded nine CD’s and composed or arranged more than 200 sacred works including 50 hymn tunes.
What is worship? It depends upon our understanding of God. Our coming together to celebrate him involves recognizing and describing his great acts, such as creation and redemption, as well as his attributes and characteristics. This element is consistent throughout the three facets of worship: praise, prayer and proclamation.
So if you were to look at the body of Christ as a mirror, how much of himself do you think God sees being reflected when he looks at our worship? Does he see us selfishly trying to appease our personal preferences or does he really see people concentrating on him?
These and numerous other factors are discussed as Ingrid and Paul discuss the controversial topic, “What is Worship Music?”
