Welcome to Truth for Life where today we begin a series where we'll take a look at true worship.

What is it?

What makes our worship acceptable to God?

Alistur Begg explores this important topic and explains why a man-centered approach to the gospel is no God. Alistur Begg explores this important topic and explains why a man-centered approach to the

gospel is no gospel at all.

I was mentioning this yesterday, so I thought I would just use it this morning.

We'll pray together and then we'll turn to the scriptures.

But this is the order for morning prayer, which is to be said daily throughout the year. And

begins as follows, dearly beloved brethren. The scripture moves us in sundry places to acknowledge

and confess our manifold sins and wickedness, and that we should not disassemble

nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, but confess them with a

humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart to the end that we may obtain the forgiveness of the

same by his infinite goodness and mercy.

And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before God,

yet ought we most chiefly so to do when we assemble and meet together to render thanks

for the great benefits that we have received at his hands,

to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy word, to ask those things which

are requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you

as many as are here present, to accompany me with a

pure heart and humble voice onto the throne of the heavenly grace. And then the worship leader would

lead the people in the statement of the general confession, which I want to read for you.

Almighty and most merciful, Father, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
