The document discusses true worship according to the Bible. It begins by citing John 4:23-24 which states that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and truth. Several elements of true worship are then listed such as having the right attitude, worshiping in God's presence, and doing all things in His name and in spirit. Examples are given of improper attitudes during communion, singing, prayer, giving, and teaching. It emphasizes the importance of worshiping for the right reasons and with the right heart rather than performative or self-focused worship.
