Summary
The speaker argues that modern Christianity suffers from a decline in genuine reverence and worship toward God. True worship, exemplified by figures like Job and Abraham, involves a profound recognition of one's unworthiness before God. This reverence brings wisdom and freedom from sin, contrasting sharply with superficial religious displays or self-esteem issues. The message concludes by emphasizing that the title of an 'unworthy slave' is the highest honor, earned through obedience to Christ's commandments.

Reverence for God is declining among ChristiansReverence for God is going down, and today's Christians are often musicians and workers rather than true worshippers.
What true worship and humility look likeWorship involves falling face down before God with a deep recognition of unworthiness, distinct from false notions of low self-esteem.
The contrast between old hymns and modern Christian cultureModern hymns and sentimental love-for-Jesus songs often lack the spirit of reverence found in older hymns written by God-fearing people.
The biblical command to worship GodJesus made it clear that worship is required, quoting that you shall worship and serve the Lord your God.Matthew 4:10
Peter puts on his shirt before meeting the LordWhen Peter realized the man on the beach was Jesus, he immediately put on his shirt to show respect before jumping into the sea.John 21:14
Avoiding the lack of reverence in modern ChristianityTreating Jesus like an old buddy rather than with holy respect stems from a total lack of reverence.
The true title Jesus said we could takeAfter doing everything commanded by Jesus, the only proper title to claim is that of an unprofitable servant or unworthy slave.Luke 17:10
Holding fast to worship above all elseEven if physical health or preaching gifts are lost, nothing can ever stop a believer from being a worshipper.
