============================================
LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD - THE SUPREMACY OF GOD IN MISSIONS
-by John Piper -
=================================================
It's about God-centered mission rather than centered on people, although the outworking of God-centeredness always affects those around us. - C 1993. Baker Book House.
To give you a little taste, John Piper says:

"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man…….Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It's the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nationsinto the white-hot enjoyment of God's glory. THE GOAL OF MISSIONS IS THE GLADNESS OF THE PEOPLES IN THE GREATNESS OF GOD. Ps 97:1 "The Lord reigns; let the earth REJOICE; let the many coastlands BE GLAD! Ps 67:3-4 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let ALL THE PEOPLES praise you! Let the nations BE GLAD AND SING FOR JOY!"

….Passion for God in worship precedes the offer of God in preaching. You can't commend what you don't cherish. Missionaries will never call out, LET THE NATIONS BE GALD!! Who cannot say from their own hearts, " REJOICE IN THE LORD…I WILL BE GLAD AND EXULT IN YOU, I will sing praise to your name, O Most High…..MISSIONS BEGINS AND ENDS IN WORSHIP.

If the pursuit of GOD's glory is not ordered ABOVE the pursuit of MAN's good in the affections of the heart and the priorities of the church, MAN will not be well served and GOD will not be duly honored. I am not pleading for a diminishing of missions but for a magnifying of God. When the flame of worship burns with the heat of God's tru worth, the light of missions will shine to the most remote peoples on earth. And I long for that day to come!
Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak. Churches that are not centered on the exaltation of the majesty and beauty of God will scarcely kindle a fervent desire to 'declare HIS GLORY among the nations (ps 96:3) even outsiders feel the disparity between the boldness of our claim upon the nations and the blandness of our engagement with God."……

THE ULTIMATE PRIORITY ON WORSHIP
- by John MacArthur, Jr.
================================
...this is not a book about worshiping in church. John MacArthur surveys the biblic al teaching about worship and argues for a new understanding of the concept. THE ULTIMATE PRIORITY is a call to a radically different type of living that seeks to worship God continually, according to a biblical pattern...

WORSHIP INTERCESSION:
On Wings of Eagles
– by Cecile Schmidt

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

“The Body of Christ is entering a new era which it has not participated in before. A reformation is needed for us all to accomplish these end-time tasks. Cecile and Dale of Eagle Ministry International have worked in the area of worship intercession for 6 years and have discovered a corporate anointing emphasizing unity and love for one another in the Body of Christ. They are a part of the new team ministries bringing out apostolic-prophetic anointings recently emerging to help restore unity in the Body. They have been led to work in many cities with local people who bear a calling to prayer and to create worship sites as local centers for intercession. This book discusses: What is Worship Intercession? Who are the apostles and prophets of this hour? What is corporate anointing? What is our role in this emerging task? What are the prophetic strategies being used to build Nehemiah walls around our cities? What is the Hezekiah call to restore worship & truth?”

For further info or to order, contact: Eagle Ministry, PO Box 49332, Blaine, MN 55449 Email: info@eagleministry.com. They are also available to speak/teach on the subject of this book, etc.

WORSHIP IS A VERB: Eight Principles for Transforming Worship
- by Robert E. Webber
==================================================
Hendrickson Publishers
....true worship is a joyous celebration of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And, as we actively turn our hearts toward God in earnest praise of God's great works, God in turn speaks to us and blesses us with a healing and renewing touch.
In this life-changing and dynamic book, Rober Webber declares that worship is not 'something done to us or for us, but by us." It is the most exhaustive demonstration of our faith and the most intimate form of relationship we can have with our Saviour....WORSHIP IS A VERY will show you how to leave the dull confines of the pew and enter the courts of the living God...(also includes other worship books on this web page)
