Jesus taught about true worship. God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Religions may have taught how they believe worship should be, but we should always use the Bible as our guide. Worship is not necessarily quiet. Can you imagine a child coming to you and saying nothing. Our Heavenly Father is seeking true worship. He wants to hear us.
John 4:23-24
The Bible describes what it is like.
In Heaven the Apostle John was given a vision of heavenly worship. The Apostle John seen many angels around the throne of God and many souls that were in Heaven singing with a loud voice. Note the emphasis here a loud voice.
