True Worship

What is true worship? Is it what you hear on Radio? Is the latest Christian Song? The music program at your Church during the service? These things can all be included in "True Worship" given that the focus of the Song/Lyrics is the Person of Yeshua. Typically the majority of what you hear in Church and on the Radio is focused on the Singer or Listener. The next time you turn on the radio listen to the lyrics. Who is the subject of the song? Typically the word "I, ME, WE, US" will dominate the songs lyrics. The Generic "G_d" replaces Jesus / Yeshua. Most of the songs could be sung by a Buddhist, Muslim, Hindi, or New Ager without changing the lyrics with no real problems to their belief system or theology. This also goes for the 7/11 songs sung by the congregations in America. 7 words repeated 11 times in a row. So what is True Worship? I don't believe that it is in singing.

Samuel 15:22, 23

22And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

True worship finds its' root/source in Obedience to G_d's command. Without obedience, the believer cannot Worship G_d. Worship isn't about dancing, singing, praising, giving, and the like. These things are fruits of Obedience. True worship is Obedience. Obedience in obeying G_d's commands. Obedience in following the will of the Holy Spirit no matter what it costs. This is where the modern day church, Laodicea, errors. They do not obey the command of Yeshua. They believe that they do not need Him. They only want His Name so that their Sins will be forgiven but they refuse to embrace Obedience.

Therefore you will be hard pressed to find true worship in the modern day church. May we repent and obey.
