come and worship: what the world needs now by ric gustafson
Worship dominates the Bible. In Genesis, man fell because Adam failed to worship God. In Revelation, life culminates into an eternal worship community. Mark 12 is a call to worship. The first commandment calls for worship. In the Old Testament, worship covered all of life. The Tabernacle was designed for worship. God takes worship very carefully.
God judges those who fail to worship him properly. The worship of false gods is unacceptable worship. Everyone worships. We are spiritual creatures. One of our basic needs is the drive to worship. False Gods can be material objects or supernatural beings.
Worshiping God in a wrong form is unacceptable worship. In Exodus 32, the people worshiped a golden calf. That was unacceptable worship.
God loves us more than anything else.
