When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for Him.
Without the heart it is no worship; it is a stage play; an acting a part without being that person really which is acted by us: a hypocrite, in the notion of the word, is a stageplayer.
We may be truly said to worship God, though we lack perfection; but we cannot be said to worship Him if we lack sincerity.
Since we are dead in sin, a spiritual light and flame in the heart suitable to the nature of the object of our worship, cannot be raised in us without the operation of supernatural grace... such a worship God must have, whereby he is acknowledged to be the true sanctifier and quickener of the soul.
All worship is shot wrong that is not directed to, and conducted by, the thoughts of the power of God, whose assistance we need.
Without the heart it’s not worship, it’s a stage play.
