This is the final end of all existence-the worship of God. Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.” “The engagement of the heart in worship is the coming alive of the feelings and emotions and affections of the heart. “Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. I just wanted to meet with some friends and worship with them.” John Piper “I had come out of a church that was filled with petty arguments and hatred. “What makes worship amazing is the object of our worship.” “If one person “wastes” away his day by spending hours connecting with God, and the other person believes he is too busy or has better things to do than worship the Creator and Sustainer, who is the crazy one?” “Isn’t it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?” Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.” “The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship.” Francis Chan He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. “Remember: He WANTS your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. For millions of church members, there is no deep commitment to the cause of Christ, no regularity of attendance at public worship, no sacrificial giving, no personal religious discipline.” It has adopted so many of the world’s ideals and standards that it has lost its ability to stem the tide of crime, deception, and immorality that is sweeping the nation. “To a large extent, the American church has become merged with the world. “A checkbook is a theological document, it will tell you who and what you worship.” The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.” “The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts” Billy Graham “We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. “Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.” “Without worship, we go about miserable.” “Sometimes I go to God and say, ‘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 has done already.’ God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.” “I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.” When it comes to worship, we can recognize that it is a holistic approach to life, rather than a time only categorized by music and singing. We can learn from a wide example of pastors. There are various pastors with different denominational backgrounds, focuses, passions, and lives. Pastors are entrusted with the delicate work of caring and leading a flock of believers.
