What God thinks about worship

What God thinks about worship

Isaiah 58:1-14
The subject of worship can be rather controversial in many Christian circles. Often the conversation will focus on the Sunday service ….. music, what we do with our arms, liturgy etc. But what does God think about worship? In today’s passage God uses the practice of fasting (common among the Jewish exiles in Babylon) to make the point that true worship must come from the heart and must involve all of life 24/7. In particular this will be seen in our concern and compassion for the broken people whom God brings across our paths in the normal course of life. Faith without works is dead. So is worship that is only words or music!
