True & False Worship

Quick Answer

Worship must be offered on God’s terms, not ours. True worship engages the mind with the truth of Scripture and honours the one true God as He has revealed Himself; false worship — however sincere or emotionally moving — substitutes human invention for divine command. This section examines both, from losing control in worship to the songs we sing.

Getting worship right

John 4:23-24 (NKJV)

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Worship is central to the Christian life. Those redeemed by Christ have an opportunity to show their love, adoration, and praise to the one true God.

Therefore, it is imperative that we get worship right. Below are some relevant articles that expand on this subject and help us get a fuller understanding of both genuine and misguided worship in today’s churches.
