(Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the

                Lord our God is holy.)

1. God is inseparable from His holiness.

                In considering worship, there is not a separation, as in a separate

                activity; it is an expression of the abiding life of Christ within.

2. Worship is inseparable from His holiness.

3. Every aspect called worship must be reviewed and evaluated

                in light of its holiness.

It is not segmented, not a part of and by itself. 

                It is the testimony of the life of Christ within.

Colossians 3

4. To impute or superimpose holiness upon that which is

                unholy within is a travesty upon worship and is very misleading.

5. Only true exaltation of God brings worship, only true

                worship exalts God.

Worship comes out of living. Colossians 3: 17

6. God has no pleasure in man defined and man produced 

                worship, it will lack God's power and blessing.

7. Worship is not for a show to men, but for the glory of a holy

                God.
