ates worship that adheres to biblical order, revealing God’s character of peace and glorifying Jesus, while rejecting chaotic, demonic influences. It begins with believers gathering to offer psalms and teachings, using spiritual gifts to edify the church (lines 1-2). Tongues, when interpreted, build the congregation by making God’s truth accessible to all (lines 3-4). Uninterpreted gibberish and doctrines of demons that distort scriptures are condemned, as they oppose God’s orderly nature (lines 5-6). Instead, orderly worship reflects God’s heart of peace and truth, fostering love and spiritual light (lines 7-8). Prophecy is orderly, with one prophet speaking at a time to glorify Christ, rejecting pagan dances or seizures (lines 9-10). The Holy Spirit exalts Jesus, and worship remains harmonious through structured gifts (lines 11-12). The poem further contrasts demonic ecstasy, which breeds confusion, with peaceful, orderly worship that lifts Christ’s name and reveals God’s tranquil nature (lines 13-16). Finally, all acts of worship, driven by love, must be done decently and in order to exalt Jesus and promote spiritual growth for the entire church (lines 17-18

When saints in worship gather to adore,
With psalms and teachings, gifts to stir the soul,
Tongues, through interpreters, must sense restore,
Translating tongues to build for all the whole.

No wild, unmeaning gibberish may rise,
Doctrines of demons twist the scriptures’ role,
Orderly worship shows God’s heart abide,
To build the church where love and light enroll.

One prophet speaks, in turn, to glorify,
No pagan dance or seizure sways the ground,
For God’s own Spirit lifts our Lord on high,
In harmony, where ordered gifts are found.

No demonic ecstasy may seize the throng,
But peaceful order lifts Christ’s name in grace,
Confusion’s chaos sings no holy song,
God’s tranquil heart shines forth in worship’s place.

In all we do, let love’s true aim increase,
With order, lift our Lord for all prenant, I’ll expand the sonnet to an 18-line poem by adding a quatrain, allowing more space to emphasize “demonic ecstasy” versus “peaceful, orderly worship.” The rhyme scheme will be adapted to ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH II to maintain structure, with the final couplet preserved for closure. Below is the revised and extended sonnet, followed by notes on the changes and alignment with your requests.
