The Power of Worship
November 8th, 2007The Israelites slipped into idolatry and worshiped Baal as well as some of the other ancient gods. At the same time, they tried to appease God by attending the temple activities. God, however, did not accept the split worship of the Hebrews. He called them to accountability.
Today Christians follow the same pattern in many cases. We want to appease God, so we come to church, thinking that going through the motions of worship will satisfy him. We also want to enjoy the pleasures of the world so we compromise our loyalty to God. Just like the Hebrews, God will not accept our divided hearts.
The bible teaches that we become like what (or who) we worship. God is indeed a jealous God. He has our best interests in mind. He knows that we need to be like him, after all, we were created in his image!
