Don't be too relaxed in your worship! Leviticus 1-3

God doesn't construct a detailed place to worship and not give a detailed way to worship. The book of Exodus, toward the end, gave the details in the building of the ark, the Holy of Holies, the tent, the priests garments and much more in regard to the utensils needed to worship God in the desert. God was specific about the height and width, the shape and the design. God is a specific God. So, it is no surprise that you don't just rush into this marvelous tent and worship the way you want. Just as God described the shape and sphere of the worship place He describes the way the Israelites approached Him. It says in Leviticus 1:1 that God spoke to Moses out of the Tabernacle.   God wanted him to know that before anyone rushed in to worship there was a way to do that.  Let us not think that in the New Testament age there is much difference.   God did not completely design the Tabernacle in the desert and the way to worship to reflect the sacrifice of His son and then just drop the ball on how we now worship.   We may not have the designs and diagrams of Moses but the spirit of worship is still there.  Let's not be casual in our worship that we forget that God is a God of order, procedure and specifics.   Yes, it is true that we no longer have to go out and cook a cake in a pan and offer it before the alter.   However, that pure cake represented a pure life and coming to God without a pure life is a violation of what God intends in worship.  Note 1 Corinthians 11.   There were many who died in the early church who took the Lord's Table lightly.   God has a way and He expects to find it and follow it.  He will speak to us from the same place He did for Moses ... where He resides ... in our hearts.
