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.

Paul taught that religions evolved because man did not honor the true God. Because of rebellion, they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of the corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. One characteristic of idolatry is that it always confuses the creature with the creator.
