“Remember the perfections of that God whom you worship, that he is a Spirit, and therefore to be worshipped in spirit and truth; and that he is most great and terrible, and therefore to be worshipped with seriousness and reverence, and not to be dallied with, or served with toys or lifeless lip-service; and that he is most holy, pure, and jealous, and therefore to be purely worshipped; and that he is still present with you, and all things are naked and open to him with whom we have to do. The knowledge of God, and the remembrance of his all-seeing presence, are the most powerful means against hypocrisy.”
Richard Baxter, Pastor and author 1615 - 1691
One Response to “Seriousness of Worship”
Something to say?
I just discovered your blog and wanted to say, “Hello”. I’m not sure why (perhaps it is simply God’s providence). I feel compelled to ask you how you came to know the Lord. Have you ever written your testimony? Feel free to email me if you feel so inclined.
In Christ and For His Sake,
