We Must Worship the Creator part 1

We Must Worship the Creator  part 1

             There is much talk about what worship is all about because all Christians desire to worship.  Because of the reality of God’s presence in our lives, we worship! We worship God for who He is, what He has done, and what He is presently 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.  They historically been those, “Who 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 forever.” 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.
