It shows approval, agreement and appreciation for a person or effort. Applause in this way is an encouragement from the spectator or recipient of the favor. Psalm 47 may be the only place that authorizes the clapping of hands in a worship service, but that is sufficient.

Read More »It reads, “O CLAP your hands all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the Lord most high is terrible (awesome); He is a great king over all the earth” (Psalm 47:1-2). Let’s face it, saying AMEN in church is not as common as it used to be. Most folks simply do not express themselves in that way anymore. But they are used to CLAPPING their hands in approval and ought not be discouraged in church. It is true that some go to extremes and “act out” in the flesh and become a hindrance in the service by taking away from somber, holy moments. It is also true that some quench the Holy Spirit by their lack of expressions and their frowning on others who are sincere and sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. We are so prone to extremes — too much commotion, too little participation. Personalities differ and good Christians express their love and faith in various ways of worship. It seems to me there ought to be room for all God’s children to worship as God leads them. It certainly is wrong to dictate another’s response to God’s grace. Obviously, we do not want to offend the weaker brethren. Each church has its own personality and manner of worship, and rather than cause problems, sometimes it is wiser to find another church more accommodating to the way one wishes to worship. While there is not a lot of details given to describe the early church’s gatherings for worship, certain practices are revealed. There was the public reading of scripture, the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, times of prayer and praise and fellowship, even eating a meal together, the observance of the Lord’s Supper and Baptisms, the presentation of financial gifts and opportunities for participation by each member — all to be done “decently and in order” (I Corinthians 14:40). Let us follow the teachings of the LOVE CHAPTER, I Corinthians 13, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Live and let live, Worship and let Worship.

Read More »On an occasion when “the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all His mighty works,” Pharisees criticized our Lord for not rebuking them. His reply was, “I tell you that if these should hold their peace, the STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT” (Luke 19:37-40). So “clap” your hands, “shout” Amen and Hallelujah if your heart overflows, “lift up your hands” in prayer and praise if your heart is right with God and you must give Him glory. Ignore the frowns of the critics and obey the Spirit. At the same time, don’t judge the more subdued worshipper as unspiritual. Give glory to the God who saved you, and “Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God” (I Corinthians 10:32).
