Doxa is the Greek translation for the English word Praise
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord! This phrase is done by many people good or bad, and have their own personal opinion about using these words. Hopefully they are using them for the good, to them who love the Lord God. If your opinion expresses how you communicate to the Father God then you can study this new word from the Greek language called Doxa. It is your personal opinion with respect or not. The decision is yours. Like I asked before, you will use it wisely in the light of worshipping God correctly. Praise is what we do, as Christians, and studying the Word of God is no different. We study to show our-self approved to the glory of God. Praise and worship is a great subject to study, and I have complied the definition, origin, and usage meaning for you below. It is not a complete journey, but a great starting point. You are to walk this journey on your own. So let’s read a few scriptures to begin:
