The Bible Instructs us to do the following in our worship:
Pray together with a loud voice:
"They lifted up their voice to God with one accord" (Acts 4:24)
Lift our hands in praise:
"Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord" (Psalm 134:2)
Sing with all our hearts:
"Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise" (Psalm 98:4)
Play musical instruments:
"And all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments" (2 Samuel 6:5)
Clap our hands and shout:
"O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph" (Psalm 47:1)
Dance unto the Lord:
"Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with stringed instruments and organs" (Psalm 150:4)
Testify in public of God’s greatness:
"I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee" (Psalm 22:22)
Anoint the sick with oil and pray for healing:
"Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord" (James 5:14)
Allow spiritual gifts to operate in the congregation:
"When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation" (1 Corinthians 14:26)
