Isaiah 27-29
Sincerity is a vital element in a church worship service. It should be prominent in both the leaders and the followers. When excellence in music performance or self-aggrandizement is in the driver’s seat, we have a problem.
Music excellence is permitted if the motive is to give God a quality of glory due His name. (Make His praise glorious)
Self-aggrandizement is not permitted. It is actually anti-worship. It is self-worship,
The prophet said, “Their lips do honor me, but (they) have removed their heart far from me.” Here it is … sincerity is engaging your heart in glorifying and bowing down to the Lord. Your lips will follow.
