COMPARISON OF GIFTS WITH <strong>WORSHIP</strong> TYPES Worship Type Dominant Spiritual Gift 1. Evangelical Evangelism and prophecy 2. Bible Expositional Teaching 3. Charismatic Renewal Exhortation (positive and practical) 4. Body-life Mercy-showing 5. Liturgical Helps (serving) 6. Informal Shepherding SUMMARY This book is about American worship, not a description of what is happening around the world. Because worship is an expression of the innermost heart of individuals and the corporate expression of the church body, and because America has a different culture than other people in the world, then we would expect Americans to express their worship differently, in different types of buildings, with different musical instruments in different languages and dialects. This book is about America now, not our past, and I don't know what will happen in 25 years. It's not an historical study, and it's not a book on methodology, i.e. how to conduct worship. I do not approve of everything I said in this chapter. I don't like the consumerism of `the world and its influence on the church. Some of you don't like it either. The world does not have the culture we grew up expecting, and the church is not the church for which many of you were trained.
So, let's learn what we need to know about culture. Let's make sure our principles are grounded in the Word of God. Let's make sure we understand what the Bible teaches about worship, and let us communicate that truth to others. But above all else, let's make sure we worship the Father in spirit and in truth.
