Session Description

Dirkie Smits, eminent South African theologian, has observed that virtually every book of the Bible condemns bad worship—which is likely to be some odious combination of idolatrous, hypocritical, or careless. Concretely, what does the Bible have to say about bad worship? And how might we strive to learn from what it says and adjust our own worship practices accordingly?
