(OPINION) There’s a sobering line in the prophet Hosea that echoes with fresh urgency today: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
It’s a warning to every generation that when we lose our grounding in the Word of God, we lose far more than clarity–we lose our very identity. Worship is not immune from this erosion. In fact, it may be the front line where the spiritual battle over truth is most quietly fought and dangerously lost.
A recent example of this drift comes from The Well Church in Gilbert, Arizona, which introduced a worship song that’s quickly making waves–not because of its beauty, but because of its bold embrace of theological confusion.
The song’s catch phrase is “We’ve Got No Idea What We’re Doing,” and while the theme itself may be unintentionally honest, what follows is a troubling snapshot of what happens when worship untethers itself from biblical truth.
Here are some of the lyrics:
God bless the Christian
God bless the atheist
God bless the Muslim
God bless the rest of us
We’ve got no idea
What we’re doing
Let all our friends in
And all our enemies
All of our children
All of our families
We’ve got no idea
What we’re doing
We’ve tried to find you
Throughout the centuries
Different religions in
Different countries
We’ve got no idea
What we’re doing
The song can be watched here:
At first glance, this song might sound like a plea for unity, tolerance, or humility. But beneath the surface is a dangerous message: that truth is unknowable, doctrine is divisive, and everyone’s “spiritual truth” is equally valid. This is not humility–it’s heresy.
Let’s be clear. The Christian faith is not a foggy attempt to guess at God’s nature. It is the glorious revelation of God in Christ, who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). The idea that “we’ve got no idea what we’re doing” when it comes to knowing and worshiping God directly contradicts Scripture, which declares that God has made Himself known through His Word, through His Son, and through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
