True biblical worship goes far beyond singing songs or attending church services. The Hebrew word for worship means to bow down in complete submission, recognizing God's holiness. Worship is the overflow of devotion revealed through how we use our treasure, time, and talents. In the Old Testament, God established specific standards for acceptable worship, as seen when King Saul's unauthorized sacrifice was rejected. Jesus revolutionized worship by teaching that the Father seeks those who worship in spirit and truth. Worshiping in truth means grounding our worship in accurate knowledge of who God really is through Scripture. Without personal study of God's Word, our worship remains shallow and potentially misdirected.
