Truth doesn't change just because you change your point of view. Are you worshipping God in a way that pleases Him?

Abraham Lincoln was in a debate. He asked his opponent, "How many legs has a cow?"

The man said "four." Lincoln then asked his opponent that if you call a cow's tail a leg how many legs has a cow? The man said "five."

Lincoln responded, "Calling a cow's tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."

Truth doesn't change just because you change your point of view. A cow has four legs and changing your point of view to call her tail a leg doesn't change the reality.

Jesus said that his followers must worship God in "spirit and truth." He then said, "...the Father is seeking such to worship Him." Have you ever heard someone say, "I worship God in my own way"? The question for those who seek truth is, "How does God want to be worshiped?"

Are you worshiping God in a way that pleases Him? Here's your challenge! Get a BibleThe books (Greek, "biblia" ) that are acknowledged as canonical (authoritative) by the early Christian Church. It includes both the books of the ancient Hebrew prophets and those of the apostolic witnesses to Jesus Christ., turn to Exodus 20, and read the first four of the Ten Commandments. Seek the truth. Then worship God in truth.
