Worshiping God in Spirit and Truth - Don Campbell - Bog

Worshiping God in Spirit and Truth is a seven-chapter exposition of what worship means biblically and how those who long to worship God in spirit and truth may do so in a way that is unquestionably right. There have always been-and always will be issues surrounding this topic. The life of Jesus is filled with clashes between himself and the guardians of orthodoxy as to what was acceptable and unacceptable in worship. The author believes that when there is a way that is unquestionably acceptable, that is the path a worshiper should take. Of course, the question then arises as to what is unquestionably correct. Some have concluded from Paul's guidance in Romans 14 that the unquestionably correct approach to eating meat, drinking wine, and observing days is summed up in one word: DON'T! And for that person the dictum is DON'T, because "Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin" (Rom14:23). However, to bind one's personal conclusion about the subject violates the entire context of that chapter: 1) Each should be convinced in his own mind (v.5), 2) Why do you judge your brother (vv.3-4, 10, 13), 3) Let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding (v.19), 4) Accept one another as Christ has accepted you (15:7). This book is sent forth in the prayer that it will promote understanding and bring glory to God.
