The key battle in our culture wars is the reestablishment of worship that is pleasing to God. Our worship of Him must be weighty and substantive—but many churches have tried to turn their worship services into some kind of very light ministry meringue. Our worship services should renew our covenant with God in a solemn, joyful, and dignified way. We are commanded to worship Him with reverence and godly awe (Heb. 12:28–29). Why don’t we? Why do we refuse to do this? Our refusal is costing us far more than we think.
