Legalistic Worship A technique for transcending into an altered consciousness “Altered State” is interpreted as “spiritual” Focus is really on ME

Biblical Worship Puts the issue of ME aside to consider God. Assumes our rightful place before him. Putting God on his throne relative to my thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. Remembers what God has done and who he is.
