Entertainment or Worship

 

 

Much of what goes under the name of worship today is designed more to entertain than to praise God. Entertainment rather than praise is often the driving force behind modern changes in worship style. Sometimes it is even called a performance and accompanied with a round of applause from the audience.

 

This, however, is nothing new. The prophet Amos condemned his generation for their worship at Bethel and Gilgal adding “for this liketh you,” that is, they worship the way they liked – not the way God liked. (Amos

4:4-5)

 

Our worship must be God-centered, not man-centered. Do not ask, “What worship style suits me?” but rather, “What has God

ordained?”
