Then Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.” But Moses said, “It would not be right to do so, for the offerings we shall sacrifice to the LORD our God are an abomination to the Egyptians.” Exodus 8:25-26
God gave specific instructions to His people about worshiping Him, which included leaving Egypt (a type of “the world”). Pharaoh told them to worship in Egypt.
Moses refused, insisting on worshiping God according to His instructions, adding that worship as God demands is an abomination to the godless Egyptians.
As it has always been, the godless world doesn’t like biblical worship. They may not think it is abominable, but they insist that it is boring and irrelevant. But instead of remaining faithful to God regarding worship, the modern church bends over backward to worship God in ways that are exciting and relevant—to the godless world. Too many in the Church reason, “Never mind what God says about worship, we gotta do all we can to make the world like us!”
Instead of risking criticism from the godless world, might much of what is called worship in our day an abomination to God?
