Worship in Spirit and in Truth part 3

Worship in Spirit and in Truth part 3

            This is what worship is all about. Because of the reality in our lives of the Scriptures yesterday we considered reasons why we worship. I want to further emphasize that we worship God for who He is, what He has done, and what He is doing now in our lives. We pray, we read Scripture, we preach the Word, we confess His name, and we also music unto Him. 
            We worship the Creator not the created things. Romans 1:25 tells us about what happened to those who worship created things rather than the one who created all things. “²⁵Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [i.e. the created] more [rather] than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.” Music is a created thing. It is dangerous to worship music. As a matter of fact, it is idolatrous to worship music. Worshipping musical performance is the result of a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of Church music in worship. The listener-performer phenomenon is a misuse of music in worship.
