Moses was concerned that when the people entered the land and became prosperous they would forget the Lord their God. He was concerned that they would see the way others worshipped their gods and would be like them. That is why he told them that they were to worship God in the place that He would designate. God determined how and where He was to be worshipped.
Today we don't have a set place to worship. When the Samaritan woman asked Jesus where they should worship He told her that the time would come when the place would not matter but the attitude of the heart would. That time is now. Jesus said that He was to be worshipped in spirit and in truth. He is the truth. He is the One we are to worship.
So what does that mean for us today? We must not compromise our worship. There is one God and He alone is to be worshipped. He is not the god that the Muslim's worship. He is not the new age god. He is God Almighty, Creator and Redeemer. When we choose to join non-Christians in worship, in a multi-faith worship service, we are not worshipping the God of the Bible.
