       “And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created” (Revelation 4:9-11, ESV). So we see an element of holiness, as well as formality, within the worship of God. It is a more serious tone, with an emphasis on honor. Now if we think of what we just read, and consider worship in most modern churches, what do we think? Is the worship lining up with the model provided to us here in the Book of Revelation? It seems a lot of times it does, but perhaps for some it does not. And if it doesn’t, then is that something that needs to be addressed? The speaker is aware he is walking on egg-shells here, but this is some food for thought. Please don’t send hate emails.
