I needed to decide if I would still worship God if he allowed Matt to lose his eye.

Worship is an inward reverence, the bowing down of the soul in the presence of God.

The author explains the evidence for they would help from astronomy. He says that if planets are behaving in a way that cannot be explained by what is already known, then another planet is searched for which would explain their behavior. This, he says, is actually how the more distant planets were discovered. We look, then, for something that would explain what is not inexplicable from what we already see.

N.T. Wright

If there is a God, you owe him far more than a morally decent life. He deserves to be at the center of your life.

Timothy J. Keller

Worship isn't just a concept or idea--it is a real encounter at appointed times with the one true God in Christ through the Holy Spirit. If all the ideas about worship today can't be ran slated into real plans for dialoguing with God, what good are they?

Constance Cherry

The priest's work, the priest's service, was understoon as an act of worship. Theis was God"s desire at Sinai - thst everybody would understand their roles as priests. Thst everybody would worship God by serving each other.

Rob Bell

Worship isn’t just a concept or idea— it is a real encounter at appointed times with the one true God in Christ through the Holy Spirit. If all the ideas about worship today can’t be translated into real plans for dialoguing with God, what good are they?

Constance Cherry

मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते।श्रद्धया परयोपेतास्ते मे युक्ततमा मताः॥॥१२- २॥Best but all are those that be,Absorved in My full faith truly,Devote themselves but absolutely,To My worship - ever diligently.12. 2

Munindra Misra

Whatever confronts your faith can be a test but if it stands to oppose the content of your personality and the validity of your convictions then it's threat.

Kingsley Opuwari Manuel

Repentance is the highest form of worship that a man can give to God.

Bidemi Mark-Mordi

I can't imagine that the God of the universe is limited to our ideas of God. I can't imagine that God doesn't reveal God's self in countless ways outside of the symbol system of Christianity. In a way, I need a God who is bigger and more nimble and mysterious than what I could understand and contrive. Otherwise it can feel like I am worshipping nothing more than my own ability to understand the divine.

Nadia Bolz-Weber

My heart is filled with profound gratitude to God.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Prayer is an act of praise and worship to God

Lailah Gifty Akita

The particular creature we love is never God’s rival. What ends in apostasy is the worship of man, the cult of humanity.

Nicolás Gómez Dávila

Pray more often and read and obey The Holy Scriptures in The Holy Bible.

Errol Anthony Smythe

Family is the one human institution we have no choice over. We get in simply by being born, and as a result we are involuntarily thrown together with a menagerie of strange and unlike people. Church calls for another step: to voluntarily choose to band together with a strange menagerie because of a common bond in Jesus Christ. I have found that such a community more resembles a family than any other human institution. Henri Nouwen once defined a community as “a place where the person you least want to live with always lives.” His definition applies equally to the group that gathers each Thanksgiving and the group that congregates each Sunday morning. (p. 64-65, Church: Why Bother?)

Philip Yancey

Your religion is not what you do on Sunday. It is how you live Monday through Saturday.

Shannon L. Alder

Theology is not a private subject for theologians only. Nor is it a private subject for professors. Fortunately, there have always been pastors who have understood more about theology than most professors. Nor is theology a private subject of study for pastors. Fortunately, there have repeatedly been congregation members, and often whole congregations, who have pursued theology energetically while their pastors were theological infants or barbarians. Theology is a matter for the Church.

Karl Barth

...people who've been hit with the gospel respond naturally with radically changed lives and hearts. The church and the ministries of the church are gospel centered when they flow from hearts that are afire with wonder at the glory and grace of God, revealed in the person of Jesus.

Daniel Montgomery

The ministry found in the corners of one's life should match the ministry that is put on display.

Alisa Hope Wagner

Whenever a group of people who are designed to primarily unite around one thing try to unite around something else, the result is devastating for all.

Rob Tims

The Church says that the Earth is flat, but I know that it is round. For I have seen the shadow of the earth on the moon and I have more faith in the Shadow than in the Church.

Magellan

May our lives and gentle spirit be evident to all that we are members of God's family.

Lailah Gifty Akita

If you have ever belonged to such a community, however, you may have discovered that the trouble starts when darkness falls on your life, which can happen in any number of unsurprising ways: you lose your job, your marriage falls apart, your child acts out in some attention getting way, you pray hard for something that does not happen, you begin to doubt some of the things you have been taught about what the Bible says. The first time you speak of these things in a full solar church, you can usually get a hearing. Continue to speak of them and you may be reminded that God will not let you be tested beyond your strength. All that is required of you is to have faith. If you still do not get the message, sooner or later it will be made explicit for you: the darkness is your own fault, because you do not have enough faith.

Barbara Brown Taylor

However grand our sacramental downsittings and updressings may be, they remain only and precisely sacraments: real presences, under particular signs, of the happier order that faith can discover under any and all signs. They're a bit like the church. As long as we see them as an earnest of the kingdom, they're all right; when we put on airs and act as if they were the kingdom itself, they look just silly.

Robert Farrar Capon

Do you think God truly meant for us to keep Him locked in the church? Is He our Sunday pocket watch we only pull out for weddings and funerals and church services? He wishes for us to think about Him wherever we are. And a voice singing His praises at a ball is far less irreverent than a stone-cold heart sitting in a pew on Sunday morning.

Hayden Wand

If we are serious about climbing to higher ground, we will be found in church every Sunday—attending all of our meetings, partaking of the sacrament, participating in Sunday School, and contributing to the spirit found in Relief Society, Primary, and priesthood meetings.

Robert L. Millet

It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.

Fridtjof Nansen

I was raised in church, Gray. If you'd asked me during my wildest phases if I was a Christian, I'd have told you I was. But there was a disconnect there.You're judging me.No, I'm calling it like it is, unlike most of the people you know, who would all agree with you if you said the sky is red.

Becky Wade

Dear God, if one day I lose my hope and purpose, give me confidence that your destiny is better than anything I ever dreamed.

Daniel Friday Danzor

My courage is faith--faith in the eternal resilience of me--that joy'll come back, and hope and spontaneity. And I feel that till it does I've got to keep my lips shut and my chin high and my eyes wide--not necessarily any silly smiling. Oh, I've been through hell without a whine quite often--and the female hell is deadlier than the male.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Greatness is unleashed when you develop faith in the power of your faith.

Phumi Ngwane

God is an on time God.You may not see what's ahead of you, but with the patience and guidance from God, He will give you the desires of your heart.

Deborah N. Kabwang

God often grants in a moment what He has long denied.

Thomas à Kempis

Never give up on walking right. Something you have to remember is that God’s fulfilled promises take patience and faith! Having faith believes in not what you SEE but what you BELIEVE.

Chloe M. Gooden

A god who gave us everything we wanted would be the most malevolent god of all. With an infantile curiosity, we insist on tasting the cockroach on the floor while our father is preparing a magnificent feast for us.

Criss Jami

The hardest thing about "everything happens for a reason" is waiting for that reason to show up.

Karen Salmansohn

The only way to prove his willingness to wait would be to wait.

Stephen L. Carter

Help our response, Lord, not to be, "WHAT are You doing?!" Instead, give us the perspective to ask, "Lord, what would You teach?

Brian Eshleman

True love takes time to find, but once it's found, the rest is eternal.

Anthony Liccione

Lay a golden egg.After you built a nest,You wait for a leg.And you land next. Now you hope and pray.Expect for the best. Go on with no delay. Get it right at last.

Ana Claudia Antunes

Put your seed in the soil, no matter the dormancy period, with faith, there shall surely be germination

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

You are placed on this earth to represent God.

Jim George

You cannot escape God's call on your life. He will pursue you to the ends of the earth!

Jim George

God has already provided all you need to live this one day His way!

Elizabeth George

Yielding your inner life to God will empower you to live the kind of outer life that honors the Lord and blesses others.

Jim George

Live a life of faith, hope and love.

Lailah Gifty Akita

You can make a successful run for political office in this country without an especially thick résumé, any exceptional talent for expressing yourself, a noteworthy education or, for that matter, a basic grasp of science.But you better have religion. You better be ready to profess your faith in and fealty to God — the Judeo-Christian one, of course. And you better be convincing. A dust-up last week in the 2014 race for a United States Senate seat from Arkansas provided a sad reminder of this, showing once again that our ballyhooed separation of church and state is less canyon than itty-bitty crack.

Frank Bruni

A historic transition is occurring, barely noticed. Slowly, quietly, imperceptibly, religion is shriveling in America, as it has done in Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and other advanced societies. Supernatural faith increasingly belongs to the Third World. The First World is entering the long-predicted Secular Age, when science and knowledge dominate. The change promises to be another shift of civilization, like past departures of the era of kings, the time of slavery, the Agricultural Age, the epoch of colonialism, and the like. Such cultural transformations are partly invisible to contemporary people, but become obvious in retrospect.

James A. Haught

The most pressing problem facing America can't be solved in Washington DC. True hope and change can't be found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It can only be found at the foot of the cross on Calvary.

Todd Starnes

A Quote from Monty's journal in GOD MUST BE WEEPING. "I felt as anonymous as a grain of sand.

J.D. Winston

If walls could talk - scratch that, if walls could make sarcastic comments... well, things would be interesting.

Meghan (Apriceno) Carr

. . . for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works.

Frédéric Bastiat

Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Salvation lies not in the faithfulness to forms, but in the liberation from them.

Boris Pasternak

...art must must carry man's craving for the ideal, must be an expression of his reaching out towards it; that art must give man hope and faith. And the more hopeless the world in the artist's version, the more clearly perhaps must we see the ideal that stands in opposition - otherwise life becomes impossible! Art symbolises the meaning of our existence.

Andrei Tarkovsky

...To trust in the strength of God in our weakness; to say, ‘I am weak: so let me be: God is strong;’ to seek from him who is our life, as the natural, simple cure of all that is amiss with us, power to do, and be, and live, even when we are weary,—this is the victory that overcometh the world.To believe in God our strength in the face of all seeming denial, to believe in him out of the heart of weakness and unbelief, in spite of numbness and weariness and lethargy; to believe in the wide-awake real, through all the stupefying, enervating, distorting dream;to will to wake, when the very being seems athirst for a godless repose;—these are the broken steps up to the high fields where repose is but a form of strength, strength but a form of joy, joy but a form of love.‘I am weak,’ says the true soul, ‘but not so weak that I would not be strong; not so sleepy that I would not see the sun rise; not so lame but that I would walk! Thanks be to him who perfects strength in weakness, and gives to his beloved while they sleep!

George MacDonald

Hopeful visions touch possibilities that only exist in the gaze of the faithful.

Bryant McGill

This is God's universe and he is the master gardener of all. If we were to eliminate all colors in his garden, then what would be a rainbow with only one color? Or a garden with only one kind of flower? Why would the Creator create a vast assortment of plants, ethnicities, and animals, if only one beast or seed is to dominate all of existence?

Suzy Kassem

As you focus on the greatness of God, the difficulties of life will dissolve.
