"If our goal is to make worship more appealing and welcoming, then before addressing how it can be accomplished, we must determine to whom worship should appeal. And it is at this point that we can become guilty of what might be called carte ante horsum. For if true worship is based on a right relationship with God, as the Bible illustrates, then those who are not right with God cannot worship Him and should not pretend to. Adapting our worship so that it appeals to the unconverted, threfore, is a case of carte ante horsum, of putting the cart before the horse! As we study the Bible, we find that worship is not meant to be a practice by which a person becomes right with God; rather, worship is the outward expression of a heart that is right with God."
