Ignorant Worship

“Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.” (Acts 17:23)

Worship is like swimming.  Without training and knowledge, we’ll flail our way to the bottom.  We are meant to worship, but we aren’t meant to worship blindly.  We need to know Who we are worshipping and how He wants to be worshipped.

Jesus’ disciples asked Him how to pray, and Jesus instructed them in righteousness.  God rebuked kings like David, Saul, and Uzziah for inappropriate worship, and Ananias and Sapphira were struck down for offering God a gift in the wrong way.  Unaccepted worship goes back as far as Cain and Abel!

Should we worship? Absolutely.  We should just be reverent to Who it is for and how we do it.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: Acts 17:22-34

Questions to ask:

1. How does this show the continuation of Jesus’ work now going on in the church?
2. How is the gospel, Paul’s preaching, and/or Paul’s defense received?
3. What is the Holy Spirit doing in this text?
4. What in our reading shows how Paul handled adversity and difficulty?

This year, #Biblebites are following the life and writings of Paul.  If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2023-vision
