Why do we worship? What is our reasoning behind our worship? Do we worship because it brings God the glory or because we gain something?
On pages 90-92 in Gospel Worship Burroughs raises the issue of worshiping God with the wrong motives? He states that in Amos God was not accepting the people's offerings because they were only offering the fat beasts when they were to eat a great portion of it, but when the sacrifice was for God alone they would offer something other than the best. On page 92 he emphasizes the need to be sure that our worship is not selfish and is really for the God. Our worship needs to be true and God-centered even when it will not benefit us at the time.
