Praise and worship, although treated as interchangeable terms, are significantly different experiences. 

While anyone can be praised, only God can be worshiped. That being true, they must be distinctively different experiences.

"Father seeks worshippers." John 4:23 

Is this reason enough to know we are doing what He seeks?

What is Real Worship?

We do well to learn what true worship is so that we can gift Him what he seeks, and in turn, be among those that He seeks.
