People go through the motions in all areas of life. We look busy as we wait for the end of the work day or approaching vacation time off. We tell our kids we will play with them and the whole time we are watching a tv show or answering our emails. We go through the motions in worship, maybe doing many of the right things, but amounting to nothing. Malachi is looking at the same thing as he looks at the Hebrew people 400 years before the birth of Christ. Worship without substance, without authenticity. In the message from Malachi, we see a description of all that worship involves.
