Praise & Worship

If a certain praise song has a fast beat, but does not contain elements of praise, is it still a praise song?

If a certain worship song has the word 'praise' peppered all the way through e.g. Terry MacAlmon - I Sing Praises, is it then considered a praise song or a worship song?

Is classifying our praise or worship expressions to our God, only determined by the tempo of the song?

Your Future Husband/Wife

Have you ever thought, that a few of the most important questions you must ask yourself before entering into a relationship with a boy or girl, for a Christian, is:

"After i marry him/her, would this person draw me closer to God or further away? Would this person assist me powerfully (or with power) to serve God, or would this person hinder me from serving God?"

Or,

"Does this person's heart burn with desire for the Lord my God?"

Or even

"Am i even a good person to marry?"

"Have i put myself in a position where i wouldn't even marry myself if i was in the shoes of the opposite gender?"

Or,

"Would i screw up somebody else's marriage, by marrying them?"

These are pretty important questions, that young people should ask themselves from the point when you begin to take interest in the opposite SEX.
