True Worshipers: Seeking What Matters to God

by Bob Kauflin

Music is a part of worshiping God, but it was never meant to be the heart of it.

Any definition of true worship that denies or minimizes God’s supremacy, authority, and uniqueness is unbiblical and will lead to idolatry.

But grace always does. We come to God by grace or we don’t come at all. We come by receiving a gift, not by doing a deed. We don’t create worship; we respond to what we’ve received in Jesus Christ—eternal life. And that gift continues to be the basis upon which we come to worship God.

If we want to grow as true worshipers of God, we won’t simply listen to more music—we’ll seek to encounter him in our Bibles.

Unless we read our Bibles well, we won’t know the God we’re worshiping.
