Biblical Worship

I've said it once and I'm re-stating this biblical principle that I believe with all of my heart: God commands us to worship him according to his Word. This has been re-affirmed in my heart by reading Exodus 34:12-17. In this passage, the Lord commands Israel through Moses that when they go into the Promised Land they are to destroy all of the altars, images, etc. of the people who dwelled in the land. They must worship God. How? This command implies that Israel is to worship the Lord his way.

If this is clearly written in the Scriptures, why do Protestants believe they can worship God in ways he has never proscribed? On the Lord's Day, I saw (live streaming) a church service at an African American Baptist church (a large one) where kids were engaged in stepping--the kind I used to do in college when I stepped representing my fraternity at Greek Shows. These kids stepped during worship; it was meant to be an offering to God. How can any Protestant who holds to Sola Scriptura believe that stepping is an appropriate sacrifice to the Lord!

Listen to God's Word regarding how he is to be worshiped, not the worship gurus of the day.
