Welcome men and women of God. My name is George W. Maize, IV and I am a candidate for the Doctor of Ministry degree with a specialization in worship from Liberty University of Lynchburg, VA. Intense study and personal practice of worship in conjunction with this program are designed to help me reevaluate my ministry mindset concerning acceptable Christian worship. Scholarly research and practical application on the highest academic levels should qualify me to teach new generation believers how to achieve acceptable worship by the grace of God.
The goal of the course I am presently taking is to identify a ministry problem relative to worship and create a micro-project demonstrating the biblical precedence for addressing this ministry problem. The student is challenged to ask the question, what is the biblical precedence of addressing the ministry problem? I chose the platform of blogging for this micro-project because it offers a tool to systematically document biblical precedence to support my premise. It also creates an opportunity for theologians and laypersons who are serious students of scripture to share their perspectives concerning biblical precedence. The blog will be displayed and available for feedback for one year.
I am asking each of you who have graciously accepted my invitation to share your perspectives and support your position/s with scripture.

The only person who will know your identity is the doctoral candidate.Know that I am thankful for the privilege of being exposed to your point of view. May you be blessed beyond measure for helping to prepare me for my next level of service to the glory of God.
