“‘The acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by Himself, and so limited by His own revealed will, that He may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men,’ states the Westminster Confession of Faith. Nor is He to be worshipped in any way other than that prescribed by Holy Scriptures.

As the Larger Catechism specifies, God forbids ‘corrupting the worship of God, adding to it, or taking from it, whether invented, and taken up of ourselves, or received from the traditions of others, though under the title of antiquity, custom, devotion, good intent, or any other pretense whatsoever.’

When the constitution of our Church is followed, every worship service in each congregation witnesses to the reign of Christ the King. On the other hand, when that worship is used to express the imaginations of any group, however well-intentioned, the Church is no longer His kingdom. Instead, it becomes only a representative democracy.” — William C. Robinson, “True Worship Acclaims Him King” (The Presbyterian Journal, July 23, 1969)
