Does the Bible specify the way one is supposed to worship God? The answer is most assuredly yes:
Particular elements of worship are highlighted:1
- Reading the Bible (1 Tim. 4:13)
- Preaching the Bible (2 Tim. 4:2)
- Singing the Bible (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16)—the Psalms as well as Scripture songs that reflect the development of redemptive history in the birth, life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus
- Praying the Bible—the Father’s house is “a house of prayer” (Matt. 21:13)
- Seeing the Bible in the two sacraments of the church—baptism and the Lord’s Supper, something Augustine referred to as “visible words” (Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:38–39; 1 Cor. 11:23–26; Col. 2:11–12). In addition, occasional elements such as oaths, vows, solemn fasts, and thanksgivings have also been recognized and highlighted (see WCF 21:5).
The following article makes some excellent points on how modern worship is undermining that which God has ordered.
