Why These Forms of Worship?

In the stories of the Word, worship can seem almost magical. When the Israelites bow before Moses' bronze serpent, they are healed. Blind men who believe that the Lord can heal them are given their sight with a simple touch. We have a liturgy that defines every single piece of our worshipmdash;allowing us to simply read through the right words and actions.
Is that worship? The New Revelation teaches that true worship is living the life of religionmdash;charity and service. So why do our forms of worship seems so importantmdash;important enough for the Lord to dictate a prayer to us? External forms of worship are important, but not the essential part of worship. It is words and actions that people use to remind themselves of and support themselves in the life of religionmdash;true worship. Forms of worship can be different while the internal worship remains constant.
