A Call to Reverent Worship

Sadly, there are many today to whom the idea of reverence in worship sounds too old fashioned, so out of step with the times, and at odds with contemporary worship trends.  Indeed, many believers seem to be strangers to the fundamental truths that form the basis for our worship and the New Testament teaching concerning worship, the Lord's supper, and the person of Christ, no longer seem to hold their interest.  These do not seem to be popular and we are a spiritually carefree generation.  Unfortunately,  the broad road has always been more appealing than the narrow way.  But the apostle Paul's exhortation must not go unnoticed, "For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Jesus Christ, and have no confidence in the flesh."  (Phil. 3:3)  Therefore, let us draw near unto Him, who in mercy, first drew near unto us, and humbly bow our hearts as true worshippers (John 4:23) in His holy presence.  May our reverent worship once again shine bright as the hallmark of our devotion to Christ.
