Psalm 96 says, "O SING to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless His name; tell of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples! . . . v.7 - Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, . . . v. 10 - Say among the nations, 'The Lord Reigns!'" I would encourage you to go and read the whole Psalm. But, we see the phrases - tell of His salvation from day to day, . . . declare His glory among the nations, . . . families of the peoples, . . . and say among the nations."
Our mission is so very tied to our worship. Psalm 96 is one of many places in Scripture where we see the tie between mission and worship. In fact, in the great hymn book of praise, the Psalms alone, there are over 70 references directly tying worship and and our mission together.
Worship without mission is actually a waste of time and nothing more than a lot of noise. If our worship does not lead us to be passionate about our mission, something is wrong with our worship no matter how great it may look or sound. Our mission is to tell the world, every part of it, that He reigns. Our worship, adoration, and praise is about Him. And guess what, our Mission is all about Him. Amen and Amen. mjm
