Unhappily, the whole controversy about worship styles has degenerated into arguments based on personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven the intensity of this worship controversy that is increasingly dividing professedly Bible-believing churches into distinctive camps, I have felt inclined to make my contribution to the concern. I am convinced that the Bible does establish clear guidelines for both what we are to \u003cem\u003ebelieve\u003c\/em\u003e (issues of faith) and what we are to \u003cem\u003epractice\u003c\/em\u003e (issues of obedience) and that this direction includes matters of worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf there is any overriding biblical truth that must circumscribe every worship practice, it is that worship is all about God and not about us. There is little hope of worshipping in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord if we do not start with the Bible and stress what it stresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Beauty of Holiness\u003c\/em\u003e is a guide to what the Bible says about the object, manner, and the heart of worship. We must never shy away from what the Bible says regardless of how out of sync with culture it seems to be.
