Pleasing God in Our Worship

Dr. Robert Godfrey is President Emeritus of Westminster Seminary California.  He has written an excellent overview of what our worship ought to be about, titled Pleasing God in Our Worship.  In this article he asks what is acceptable worship?
Hebrews 12:28 "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe."
"Too often today when people speak of acceptable worship they mean worship that is acceptable to themselves or perhaps acceptable especially to the unchurched. While worship must communicate clearly to the gathered congregation, the Bible insists that worship must above all be acceptable to God. And we must always remember that we can only know what is acceptable to God by a careful study of his Word." (Robert Godfrey)
