B. Worship is not the product of the mind, but neither is it against the redeemed mind(Romans 12:2 comes very much into focus here, also, I Cor. 2:14). The Lord wants us to worship “in truth” and “with the understanding” (Psalm 47:7, John 4:23, 24). But to argue in the interest of rigid silence is to misunderstand. We must never allow our intellect to cause us to resist the Holy Spirit. (Acts 7:51) Is it not a stiff-necked people who neither bow in humility nor look up in praiseful faith? Is not an uncircumcised heart one veiled into blindness by the “flesh” that shields it from whole openness before God?
