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. Every
believer in the Lord Jesus, a person redeemed from darkness to light,
has been called to a live a life of praise and worship to God. Praise
and worship is a required and joyous component of every Christian’s
relationship with Jesus. Although praise and worship is not restricted
to music and song, this chapter deals with the expression of praise and
worship in the form of music and song amongst churches in the Indian
community. Principles for successful worship ministry, dealing with
disagreements, and integrating multiple languages are addressed.
