In my early Christian training I was taught to believe that so long as we were sincere, well-meaning and well-intentioned, our Heavenly Father and Creator would happily accept our worship and our offerings, no matter what we brought or how we brought it to Him, as long as you bring it, "In Jesus' Name."
Around four years ago, I was shocked to learn that Yahweh Almighty DOES NOT accept whatever we bring to Him so long as we are 'sincere.' I was astonished to learn that not every service done in the name of Jesus will be accepted by the Father.
I was shocked to learn that there is a distinct and identifiable difference between worshiping Yahweh in spirit and in truth, and worshiping Him in vain. It is critical that we learn and respect the difference.
As people who are supposed to love the creator with all our being, we do not want to go through our entire lives thinking that we have offered faithful and worthwhile worship to the Creator, while the Heavenly Father decides that we have not worship Him at all, because He considers what we offered Him, to be vain and meaningless.
Let us learn to become the kind of worshiper the Father is seeking. Let us learn to worship Him in spirit and truth.
