Real WorshipWarren W. Wiersbe “The wonder of God is revealed one way or another throughout our entire Bible, but I want to focus on the four worship hymns recorded in the book of Revelation [contained in Chapters 4, 5, 11, 19]. What the host of heaven are saying and doing in their worship ought to be worthy of our study and imitation.” pg. 48 “The praise of the heavenly hosts recorded in Revelation 5 contain the elements of a balanced hymnal. They sang a gospel song about the blood of the Lamb that redeems sinners; they sang a missionary song about every tribe and tongue and people and nation; they reminded the church of its exalted position as kings and priests; and they even touched on future events...This is a good model for us to follow if our worship is to be balanced.” pg. 56

Real WorshipWarren W. Wiersbe “Worshiping God with a wrong motive can be as deadening as worshiping a false god with a sincere motive. Both are wrong, but certainly the enlightened Christian faces a greater judgment than the sincere pagan. After all, we know the God we worship! We know that we live in His world and that we bear His image; and as believers, we know that we belong to His family. We have His revelation in His Word and the personal instruction of the Holy Spirit. Believers who have a commercial approach to worship have certainly forgotten these truths and have turned God into a celestial Servant who rewards them for faithful worship. Satan accused Job of being that kind of a worshiper.” pp
