Is there a correct “style” of worship? Jesus only gave two requirements for legitimate worship: “God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). I don’t think God is offended or even bothered by different styles of worship as long as it is done “in spirit” and “in truth.” In fact, I’m certain that God enjoys the variety! Remember, it was His idea to make us all different. The style of worship that you feel comfortable with says more about your cultural background than it does your theology. Debates over worship style are almost sociological and personality debates couched in theological terms. Regardless of style, true worship employs both your right brain and your left brain. It engages both emotion and intellect, your heart and your mind. We must worship in spirit and in truth.    — Pastor Roosevelt A. Marsden
