Worship vs. Praise
I would like to see how you view Worship separately from Praise.
And visa-versa Praise separately from Worship.
What's the difference between the two?
Is it possible to have one and not the other?

1Ch 16:29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Something I find very interesting is in the Old Testament Worship is always connected with sacrifice. The things we willingly give up for God. The way we we live our lives fasting prayer our offerings are all forms of worship. When Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac notice what he told his servants:
Gen 22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
His sacrifice was worship. Praise is enjoyable it makes us feel good we leave feeling happy. We don't worship as much anymore because in scripture it's related to sacrifice.
Worship

I heard it explained like this once and I kind of liked it. Worship is is adoring God for who He is. Praise is thanking Him for what He's done.

Amen and I will add that Praise begins the communication - worship is when you have entered the deeper part of that communication. It goes beyond praise. You are in the "holy of holies", so to speak. Lost with Him even with others surrounding you.

I can praise you just for having on a nice shirt, it doesn't mean I love you enough to worship you.
Same with God, just about anyone can praise him, but worship takes a little more effort.

Greeting the King
Noblemen were gathered together in London waiting for the King of Great Britain. They all knew him personally, yet they all honored him as their king. When he entered, they stood solemnly to their feet. "Take your seats, gentlemen," he said, "I count you as my personal friends." And then joking he added, "I am not the Lord, you know!" Immediately one of the noblemen, a Christian, said, "No, sir, if you were our Lord, we would not have stood to our feet; we would have fallen to our knees."

Praise is the acknowledgment of something good or great in an individual or thing.
Worship is adoration borne of a love for an individual or thing.
