Lift Up Your Hands in the Sanctuary

W. David O. Taylor says that Christian worship suffers from theologies that "prioritize the interior and invisible activities of the heart and mind, where the 'real' action of worship is believed to occur." Scripture, in contrast, presents a vision of worship overflowing with physicality, as God's people stand, bow, kneel, dance, clap, sing, shout, and raise their hands before their creator.
