Worship
“Keep a Christian from entering the church sanctuary and you have not in the least bit hindered their worship. We carry our sanctuary with us. We never leave it.” A.W. Tozer
“Those who sing pray twice.” Author Unknown
“Whenever we have to praise God, what do we do? We simply say what He is! ‘You are this and You are that.’ There is no other praise. We cannot fetch anything from anywhere else and bring it to God; the praises of God are simply the facts about Himself! If you want to praise the Lord Jesus Christ, tell the people about Him.” Charles Spurgeon
“Worship is simply giving God His breath back.”
Author Unknown
“Worship is the believer’s response of all that they are-mind, emotions, will, body- to what God is and says and does.” Warren Wiersbe
“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.”
William Temple, Nature, Man and God
“The surest way to suppress our ability to understand the meaning of God and the importance of worship is to take things for granted… indifference to the sublime wonder of living
is the root of sin.” Abraham Heschel
"Worship is an art, using the sensory to bring us into an awareness of and attentiveness to the mystery of God.”
Eugene Peterson
“To enjoy worship for its own sake, or simply out of a cultural appreciation of the ‘performance’ (whether of Byrd or heavy rock), would be like Moses coming upon the burning bush and deciding to cook his lunch on it.” N.T. Wright
“If there is no laughter, Jesus has gone somewhere else. If there is no joy and freedom, it is not a church; it is simply a crowd of melancholy people basking in a religious neurosis. If there is no celebration, there is no real worship.” Steve Brown
“The happiest man is he who learns from nature
the lesson of worship.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“People have an idea that the preacher is an actor on a stage and they are the critics, blaming or praising him. What they don’t know is that they are actors on the stage; he [the preacher] is merely the prompter standing in the wings, reminding them
of their lost line.” Attributed to Soren Kierkegaard
