Deu 12:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4 : The people are warned not to copy any of the idol worship practices when they worship the Lord ( v. 4 ). They should not think that building altars on hills, planting groves, or using images will honor God. God must be worshipped in His own way, not in the ways used for false gods, because He is greater than all other gods and deserves special worship.
