Within evangelicalism is a distressing drift toward accepting a Christianity that does not demand a life-changing walk with God.

We must worship in truth. Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Psm. 145:18). Worship that is not based on God's Word is but an emotional encounter with oneself.

One characteristic of idolatry is that it always confuses the creature with the creator.
