On pages 114-116 of "Gospel Worship" Burroughs really strikes a chord when it comes to how we worship. On the bottom of page 114 he states, "It is good to consider it when you are with others, but especially (I say) when you are in secret; and know that when you are most private you have one who looks on you and takes notice of you, which is more than if you had ten thousand witnesses standing by you and looking upon you. For it is God who stands by you and sees your behavior, sees what you do in your worship of Him. Take heed therefore that there is nothing done by you that is unbecoming the presence of such a God as the Lord is."
Do we take into consideration how we worship when in public as opposed to when we are in private? Who are we really worshiping when we are in public? Is it the opinion of those who see us and what they think about us? Or is it God that we worship? And do we worship God just as fully as we may pretend to do in public when we are in private?
