The Ten Commandments Series - The Second Commandment: True Worship of God

Reverend Philip Rimmer's article, "The Second Commandment," published in the Orange Banner, explores the proper methods for worshipping the Christian God. It argues that after identifying the true object of worship, the second commandment dictates how God should be worshipped, according to biblical scripture. Rev. Rimmer outlines specific elements of true worship, such as prayer, scripture reading and preaching, singing praise, the administration of sacraments, and the instruction of children. The article contrasts the regulative principle of worship, where only scripturally mandated practices are allowed, with the view that any non-forbidden practice is acceptable, ultimately stressing the importance of adhering strictly to God's revealed word and avoiding unscriptural innovations or the use of graven images in worship.Check out our website www.gole.org.uk
