I believe worship is our lifestyle. Living our life holy, worthy in God's eyes. A life that reflects Jesus. Worship does not end at the end of the worship service at church. Worship happens every single moment that you live your life as a worthy sacrifice for God. Praise on the other hand is a proud declaration of who God is. Thanksgiving with songs and prayers, or even just by sharing your testimony to a friend is a form of praise.

Worship is who you are and praise is what you do. A Christian does not have time for worship because who he/she is every second is worship. Praise is part of worship. What we call the praise and worship team is simply a music team. The Holy Spirit came to fill Believers so that they are in constant worship of God. The condition of your heart determines who you worship NOT what you do. When I am at work I am in worship, when I am eating, whatever I am doing I am in constant worship. Which is why the Bible says that whatever we do, do it as unto to the Lord. Why? because it is worship. Calling the music team the Praise and Worship team relegates worship to an event not a lifestyle. This is why we have Christians who are different people on different days. When worship is a lifestyle, we become consistent and grow in maturity in Christ Jesus.

Permit me to add that Worship is a communion with God, it is a relationship with God, it is a surrender to God. Remain blessed

[sup.]

Praise =glorification, thanksgiving, declaration
Worship= heart, mind, giving full attention to God

[leahnnaa]

I Surrendered my Life to God Since May. I Love when God is Talking to me! ❤️

A suggestion to add to the meaning of the two words. Praise could be more of thanking God for what He has done for you and others, for all His works. Worship can be more about realizing who God is or realizing the worthiness of God regardless of the situation you are in. Worship can mean being able to glorify God for who He is no matter the circumstances or the state you are in because you can approach His throne of grace boldly and proclaim things like God is Almighty, Everlasting, Holy, Loving, Unchanging, etc. Praise comes from experience while worship comes from the heart, while both are rooted in the Holy Spirit's guidance. Not sure if that's right or makes sense totally. But yeah, I like the idea of monologue vs. dialogue. Because in the dialogue, you can have a deeper understanding of what it means to worship in truth and in spirit.

when I worship God he reviews himself to me, he opens my eyes to see beyond this world, and everything about this world becomes meaningless to me, and all I want that moment is to remain with him alone, and above all, when I worship, I don't see difficulty anymore, I feel I can get anything I want cos my father God owns everything. worship is my best moments in this life and even the devil knows it.

John 4:24 is the very perfect description concerning to the true worshippers,
God seeking those true worshippers. True worship only manifest in us if we do give reverence to the word of God by obeying them and obeying his words became a worship. And absolutely,
Don Moen perfectly described praise as we declaring God's marvelous works in ourlives.
Again, giving praise to all
men is also permitted as we give them acknowledgement for their goodness but only God deserved our worship by our willingness to served him in goodness or in bad times,
and believing him that he is the only one true God. It serves also as worship.

I am an elderly person and give my experience. When we praise, we send up a sweet savour unto him with our exaltation of Almighty God and overwhelm him. When we worship, God Almighty himself will decend among us in all HIs glory and overwhelm us. That is why we cry during worship service.Love from all in New Zealand.

I am 19 years old. I used to listen your songs since I was a kid. My father usually played your song in the morning and I never forget each lyrics and messages from your song. How almighty our God is. Thank you for spreading the word of God, his greatness through music.

[JsuisNa]

Praise is acknowledging God's goodness: worship is acknowledging God's greatness and majesty

[joshuabuesa]

I am a part of a worship team for the Glory of God. Here in Philippines, most of the Worship teams always mistaken the difference between praise and worship. We thought that 'praise' is refering to fast or upbeat tempos then in 'worship' is more likely a slower tempos. Thank you Sir Don for this video. Now I understand it more, in a deeper way. God bless you abundantly po!

As God revealed
Praise is worshipping God for what He had done
Worship is worshipping Him for who He is..
God bless us all🙏🏾 frm. KSA

[love-georgendon]

If anyone knows worship and is qualified to talk about it, Don Moen is that man!

[aloagbayemomodu]

Thanks Don...In PRAISE we touch God, In WORSHIP He touches us. We declare who God is in PRAISE, we shut ourselves and let Him reveal His WORTHINESS in WORSHIP.

Blesssings!

I have a lecture on this subject and summarily one of the difference that I saw in my study is that, 'all men can praise the Lord and yes even creation can praise the Lord as the Psalms says, 'let everything that hath breath praise the Lord'. even the trees can..the rocks can but Worship can only be done those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. The Lord says, God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Only those who are born of the Spirit or born again has the potential of worshiping God. In short 'unbelievers cannot worship the Lord and yes unbelievers can praise the Lord!
