Redéfinir : Louange, Adoration et Culte
R367,08La louange et l’adoration sont deux concepts les plus courants dans le milieu chrétien de cette génération, mais en même temps deux concepts autour desquels il y a des mythes et compréhensions qui prêtent à confusion et diminuent même leur essence.
Ce livre est le premier volume d’un ensemble de 101 affirmations sur la louange et l’adoration. Cependant, l’auteur ne prétend pas détenir ni exposer toutes les affirmations existantes sur la louange et l’adoration, car les sujets sont très vastes, et la liste n’est pas exhaustive. Dans ce présent volume contenant vingt-cinq, il partage ce qu’il a appris au fil des ans sur le culte et la prière, dans l’exercice de son ministère, en regroupant toute la matière en 3 grandes classes : le culte personnel, le culte, et le culte communautaires.
Le but poursuivi est celui de permettre aux lecteurs d’étudier et de comprendre les principes bibliques sur lesdits sujets, afin d’améliorer la qualité du culte qu’ils rendent à Dieu, qu’il s’agisse du culte personnel familial ou communautaire. Ce livre vous aidera à :

- Rectifier les Confusions.
