Puritan Worship
A view of worship guided by the
Regulative Principle, and other important matters.
There is a growing need to study the
doctrine of the church and the doctrine of Worship. Ignorance on
this subject is not bliss since God commands the gathering together of
His people for this express purpose (Heb. 10:25). The Puritans
knew worship very well. Much of their writings were directed to
this end. Worship should be reflected in the entire life of the
believer as his manner of glorifying God. Without worship, men lose a sense of
self. That is why the lost try to fill the void that only worship to the
Creator of the Universe is meant to hold. They have a gnawing
sense of emptiness when true worship is not being given to the sustainer
of their being. Worship and the church, then, even on that level
alone, is one of the most important, if not the most important doctrine
one could study.
The church is also having an identity
crisis. Since they do not know their Bibles, they have lost a
sense of who they are before God. Hopefully some, if not all of
these articles will help the church find her identity again, and the
people of God will remember again how to worship the Lord in the beauty
of holiness.
