Worship of Natural Men
No. 396
When God is worshipped, he ought to be worshipped in spirit and in truth; but natural men don’t worship him so. There is outward worship; but if we could look within, into the heart, we should see no worship there. There we should find nothing [but] enmity, and rebellion, and opposition to God. There is a body upon the knees. But [if] we could look within there, we should see an heart proudly exalting itself against God. There is a submissive, humble voice, and gesture, and looks that seems to show forth a great deal of reverence and self-abasement. But if we could look within there at the same time, we should see an heart opposing the sovereignty of God, and finding fault with his ways, and objecting against God's dealings towards him, and haughtily exalting himself, and trusting in himself. - WJE 19:528
