If our worship is to be biblical, then we must settle neither for the chaos of the former, nor the deadness of the latter. Secondly , worship that is acceptable to God involves the use of our minds - it is rational . This is a truth which needs to be sounded out at a time when unity on the basis of sensation or feeling is very much to the fore. This has very practical implications. For example, it demands the necessity of concentration.
Worship is a conscious activity.
You can not worship without thinking. So if we are to be involved in worship on the Lord's Day, then it is essential that we make adequate preparation for it. This addresses the way in which we spend our Saturday evenings and also our approach to a Sunday morning. Learning to concentrate as we participate in worship is equally essential. This demands that we leave some mortal matters behind in the vestibule.
