Homilist Malachi 1:10-14 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nothing? neither do you kindle fire on my altar for nothing… 1. Wrong worship is worse than no worship at all. 2. Wrong worship will one day be practically repudiated. 3. Wrong worship is sometimes rendered even by the religious teachers of mankind. These priests made worship appear contemptible and burdensome. 4. Wrong worship evermore incurs the just displeasure of heaven. (Homilist.)
