True Worship Is God-centered/Christ-centered

"...true worship is saturated [through songs, Scripture readings, sermon, etc.] with reminders of God's covenant lordship. We worship to honor his mighty acts, to hear his authoritative word, and to fellowship with him personally as the one who has made us his people.

"When we are distracted from our covenant Lord and preoccupied with our own comforts and pleasures, something has gone seriously wrong with our worship.

"...when we leave worship we should first ask, not What did I get out of it? but How did I do in my work of honoring the Lord?"

-- John Frame in "Worship in Spirit and Truth" p. 5 (P&R: 1996)
