TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - FEBRUARY 16, 2022
Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at 9:04AM False Worship
Today is February 16, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
When we study the false worship of Cain, we can see that the worship given was in service of Cain's own interests with the expectation that something beneficial would be given to him.
When we study the false worship of Aaron and God's people on Mt. Sinai, we can see that the worship of God was compromised to meet the comfortability of the people.
In both instances we see that when worship is for us - when we worship for our needs and our wants and our comfort and our preferences and our sensibilities - that is false worship.
Worship should not be done to serve our interests.
Worship should not be done with the expectation of receiving anything.
Worship should not be done to meet our comfortability.
True worship is our response to the mercy of God, the word of God, and to the Spirit of God.
True worship is all about God, reserved only for God, and done for God alone because He deserves it.
Meaning, when we apply this to church, it should give us a very clear reason why we should rise together again in worship.
God's blessing upon you as you meditate on true and false worship, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
