What does the Word of God say about…

Worship Praise Music Offering Adoration Devotion Church Music ?

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John 4:24 — KJV

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. Psalm 95:6 — KJV

Worship is not a style or a preference — it is the fundamental posture of a creature before its Creator. And yet most of us have never sat with what Scripture itself says about what worship is, what it looks like, and why it matters.

That is what this ministry exists to explore. From Genesis to Revelation, the Word of God has much to say — and we're here to help you discover it.

About Dean & Brenda

A Lifetime of
Faithful Worship

Dean and Brenda Kurtz met in high school, drawn together through choir and a shared love for the Lord. Married in 1979, their lives have been an extended act of devotion — to each other, to the local church, and to the God they have worshipped together for over four decades.

"My mission is to turn people's hearts to God in true worship — worship that in heart and form magnifies and brings pleasure to God."

Dean has served churches in Lansdale, Pennsylvania (1981–2006), Watertown, Wisconsin (2007–2024), and most recently Faith Baptist Church in Taylors, South Carolina. The book, the ministry, and this website are the fruit of that journey — a lifetime of sitting with Scripture and asking what God himself says about worship.
