I'm afraid many Christians experience the same ritualistic worship I did before I repented. Many have gone for years without a freshness in their love and worship of Jesus Christ. When this spiritual dryness occurs, and a person attempts to worship in spite of unconfessed sin in his life, normally one of three things happens.
Some persons continue to have their quiet times and go to church.
But they have ceased to worship from rivers of living waters. They stand and worship at the banks of dried-up river beds. They go through the outward motions religiously and with great discipline. But there is no genuine, living, joyful worship of Jesus. The second group attempts to manipulate their worship experience.
