What is the point of Worship?
Jan Brueghel the Elder, John the Baptist preaching (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Worship that is pure ascription—focused not on us, but solely on God —gets our eyes off ourselves and onto the Lord . It is a biblical way to worship! Psalm 115:1 says, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory.” Worship is not about us, as though it is an opportunity for us to show how zealous and spiritual we are. It’s entirely about the Lord. Like John the Baptist , we must come to each worship service with a mindset that says, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). In Ezekiel 44:16, God instructs the priests to “enter my sanctuary … to minister to me.” Worship, therefore, is something we offer God. It’s not a show the church puts on to make us feel good or to motivate us. Worship is something we do to honor God. Related articles How much of a priority should worship be in the church?
