Some people worship a religious leader, a special object, or an idea instead of the God of the Bible. It happens in cults when a leader receives the honor and obedience that only God deserves. It also happens when a house, a car, a job, a mate, a child, or a form of recreation is given the attention that should be given to God. It's all in the liturgy. According to this view, worship is following a set of repeated religious words or exercises.
Emphasis is given to standing up, sitting down, bowing, or participating in some other ritual.
Traditional clothing and religious phrases are also involved as key elements. It's something that happens at church. The following pages will separate opinion from fact as we explore what God's Word tells us about the kind of worship God expects from us.
