At Ron Martin Ministries, our desire is to achieve a rewarding experience each time we worship God corporately. The Bible instructs believers to utilize various postures of worship, some of which are listed below.

HOW SHOULD WE WORSHIP GOD?
“… God is a Spirit and those that worship Him, must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24; Psalm 96:9)
WHY DO WE CLAP OUR HANDS?
“Oh clap your hands all ye people, shout unto God with a voice of triumph.” (Psalm 47:1)
WHY DO WE LIFT OUR HANDS?
“Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.” (Psalm 134:2; 63:4; 1 Timothy 2:8)

WHY ARE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS A PART OF THE WORSHIP SERVICE?
“Praise Him with the sound of trumpet… with the psaltry and harp… with the timbrel and dance… with stringed instruments and organs… upon the loud cymbals.” (Psalm 150:3-5; Revelation 14:2)

WHY DO WE SPEAK IN TONGUES AND INTERPRET IN CHURCH?
“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal… to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12:7; 14:5, 27, 39)

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38)
“Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.” (Deuteronomy 16:17)
