Within evangelicalism is a distressing drift toward accepting a Christianity that does not demand a life-changing walk with God. Many evangelicals (today) do not realize that the church has always been an island of righteousness in a sea of paganism, but as a result they turned the world upside-down.

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.

If we haven't learned to be worshipers it doesn't really matter how well we do anything else. Worship changes us or it has not been worship. To stand before the Holy One of eternity is to change. Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience.
