In this article, Lou Going presents a practical look at how misaligned worship generates the specific problems in living that all counselors deal with. Going examines a woman who misuses food, at a couple whose marriage is unraveling, a man depressed after breaking up with his girlfriend and at a pastor experiencing burnout. Going concludes that the love of Christ realigns worship to enable practical changes in lifestyle; but those who cling to their interior falsehoods do not change outwardly.
