God is as clear today as He was with Nadab and Abihu in the Old Testament: Those who approach His presence will treat Him as holy (Lev. 10:1-3). Their deaths demonstrate that one cannot be too thoroughly instructed in the right and wrong way to worship Him. In this precious work, the beloved Puritan pastor Jeremiah Burroughs masterfully provides guidelines to facilitate the reader's approach to God in worship. Through 14 sermons, Burroughs carefully explains the proper way to worship God in the three great ordinances of hearing the Word, receiving the Lord's Supper, and prayer. Burroughs shows that true worship is reverent, centered on our holy God.
Author
Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646) was greatly loved for his preaching and his gentle spirit and was persecuted for his nonconformity to the Church of England. Feeling compelled to flee to Holland for a time, he eventually returned to England and preached to the Stepney and Cripplegate congregations in London, two of the largest congregations in England. He was also a member of the Westminster Assembly until his death in 1646.
