The Danger of Worship, Part I: Introduction

I was captivated recently by the reality of how dangerous and transforming worship is. When worship is of the right things we are dramatically changed for the better. When worship is of the wrong things, we too are transformed. Theologian G.K. Beale suggests, rightly, that worship leads to our restoration or our ruin.

In countless places throughout the Scriptures we read how perveted, depraved, and wicked a people become when they worship the false gods of human hands. Idolatry is disaster!

In my next series of posts I hope to extrapolate this more, and look at some examples from Scripture. The application gleaned from this study has such profound implications for our living and these too are worthy of our consideration. If worship transforms us, then, we must all pause and ask “what am I being transfomred into?” Worship, needless to say, is dangerous!
