WORSHIP QUOTES
quotations about worship
When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words than my words be without heart.
LAMAR BOSCHMAN
A Heart of Worship: Experience a Rebirth of Worship
Either we worship something worthy of ourselves, something truly beyond ourselves, an utter mystery of truth and love and beauty, or we find something small and mean and make it our God, usually without the clarity of admitting that to ourselves.
TERRANCE W. KLEIN
"The Place Where I Worship", America Magazine, February 13, 2016
God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already.

Worship is the very essence of our relationship with God and involves our entire life. True worship can only come from a heart that is turned towards God -- a heart that is obedient, reverent, and humble and desires that He be exalted.

"A Kingdom of Priests: The True Meaning of Worship", Jamaica Gleaner, March 25, 2017
Worship is a lifestyle. What you do throughout the day is your act of worship to God.
PATRICK MABILOG
"4 misleading concepts on worship", Christian Today, February 5, 2016
Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honor and worth to their Creator-God precisely because he is worthy, delightfully so.
D. A. CARSON
Worship by the Book
It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow.
CALVIN COOLIDGE
speech, July 6, 1922
Ultimately, it is the very life of man, man himself as living righteously, that is the true worship of God, but life only becomes real life when it receives its form from looking toward God.
POPE BENEDICT XVI
The Spirit of the Liturgy
Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold--all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.
RICHMOND WEST

The Heart of Praise: Daily Ways to Worship the Father with Psalms
I love the freedom of my wings. I love the empty space above the ground. I rejoice in my freedom. Freedom is my religion. Peace is my God. Love is my worship.

World Peace: The Voice of a Mountain Bird
Worship does not train and develop people for ministry; it expresses the heart-felt awe of those trained and developed as disciples. Worship is the result of God's working in us, not the cause.

The Disciple-Making Church: Leading a Body of Believers on the Journey of Faith
God is to be worshipped with the body as with the mind; for He made both, redeemed both, and will glorify both.

You worship a God who died on a tree; we worship the sun, which never dies.
ATAHUALPA
attributed, Day's Collacon
Man ceases to be a worshipper of God only because he has become a worshipper of himself. Estranged from God he finds no nobler object of worship than the strongest man.
WILLIAM GOODELL
attributed, Of One Blood: Abolitionism and the Origins of Racial Equality
No acceptable worship is possible unless faith in Christ is present. When and where faith is present, then all good works of a Christian are acts of worship.
DAVID OTTEN
"Thirsty?", Daily Register, March 22, 2017
If we do not endeavor to imitate Him whom we worship, we do not worship Him in sincerity.

Practical Piety: Or, The Influence of the Religion of the Heart on the Conduct of the Life
God likes worship. The Old Testament such as Nehemiah is full of Scriptures where people were assigned to sing to the Lord. The singers in Nehemiah made their living from worshipping God. My friends who make a living from leading worship have invested thousands of dollars out of their own pocket and hundreds of volunteer hours in training to lead worship. I don't understand why we will pay top dollar for a doctor or an accountant but we don't want to recognize or reward a gifted singer or musician who loves God. This is pure idiocy.
