Throughout the evolution of mankind our very much primordial ancestors had one thing in common, it was ignorance. This ignorance gave birth to fear. Fear of the unknown became a quintessential element of their daily survival. To ace the intensity of the fear, rituals of worship arose.

Abhijit Naskar

The great would not think themselves demigods if the little did not worship them.

Pierre-Claude-Victor Boiste

If they can worship a weird creature, which is even not existed; why I must not worship a beautiful one who is already here.

M.F. Moonzajer

She was silent; the great wings almost stopped moving; only a delicate stirring seemed to keep them aloft. "Listen, then," Mrs. Whatsit said. The resonant voice rose and the words seemed to be all around them so that Meg felt that she could almost reach out and touch them: "Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that there is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift their voice; let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the Lord!

Madeleine L'Engle

There were thieves and hypocrites among us, to be sure, and true saints sprinkled here and there, but most were simply good, honest people who worshiped their Creator the best they knew how. We were a family.

Donna Chapman Gilbert

Would a just God sentence a morally good individual to hell for never having heard of him? And for that matter, would a just God expel a morally good individual to hell who has heard of Jesus, but simply finds no evidentiary reason to believe? According to any reasonable interpretation of Christianity’s key doctrines, the answer is a simple and firm 'Yes.' This is because, according to Christian dogma, it is impossible to be 'moral' without Jesus Christ; I disagree with this on a fundamental level.

David G. McAfee

In the future system, you will decide how your bodies look and feel, but only til then will you have the choice.

David L. Lloyd

Before aligning the body to the future, the mind has to straighten out from the impairment or religion.

David L. Lloyd

If it will give you any satisfaction in the end, I still care for you. Either there is no such thing as love, or the word does not mean what I have thought it to mean on many different occasions. It is a feeling without a name, really—better to leave it at that. So take it and go away and have your fun with it. You know that we would both be at one another's throats again one day, as soon as we run out of common enemies. We had many fine reconciliations, but were they ever worth the pain that preceded them? Know that you have won and that you are the goddess I worship—for are not worship and religious awe a combination of love and hate, desire and fear?

Roger Zelazny

To hate man and worship God seems to be the sum of all the creeds.

Robert G. Ingersoll

God thundered again and again through the prophets that worship in the context of mistreatment of the poor and disadvantaged is an outrage.

Ronald J. Sider

God's anger is the toil and suffering of man. Man's anger is the love and worship of his enemy.

Michael Bassey Johnson

There are many themes found in the Book of Psalms that are generally not found in modern music. These include the fear of God, the righteousness and justice of God, the sovereignty of God, the judgement of God, the evil of sin, spiritual and physical warfare, the arch enemies of the Christian, the destruction of the wicked, the reality of hell, the blessedness of the church, the vicious attacks upon the church, the commandments of God, the dominion of David’s son, and so on. Without the backdrop of these truths, the themes of love, mercy, faith, and salvation become largely meaningless.

Kevin Swanson

Matt Chandler

Reformation Thought

[I]n a place with absolutely no private or personal life, with the incessant worship of a mediocre career-sadist as the only culture, where all citizens are the permanent property of the state, the highest form of pointlessness has been achieved.

Christopher Hitchens

If in some radical miracle, the Abrahamic God revealed his existence to the world, I’d accept the belief in the deity — but I still wouldn't worship it. The jealous and angry God that justified the killings of millions, sent plagues upon first borns, and abhorred homosexuals would not be worthy of my worship.

David G. McAfee

If you make anything a higher priority than God, you are worshiping it and not God.

Jim George

Lewis is like a gateway, making the riches of Deep Church more accessible.

Alister E. McGrath

There is only one thing to do when you meet the Living God; you must fall on your face and repent of your sins. Repentance is bittersweet business; Repentance is not just a conversion exercise -- it is the posture of the Christian, much like 'tree' or 'full lotus' is the posture of the Yogi. Repentance is our daily fruit, our hourly washing, our minute by minute wake-up call; our reminder of God's creation, Jesus' blood, and the Holy Spirit's comfort. Repentance is the only no shame solution to a renewed Christian conscience, because it only proves the obvious: God was right all along.

Rosaria Champagne Butterfield

Our worship must be directed to the One who holds the world in His hands.

Billy Graham

Worship in the truest sense takes place only when our full attention is on God—on His glory, power, majesty, love and compassion.

Billy Graham

Billy Graham

We have come to worship things, status, fame, popularity, money, security. Anything that comes between God and ourselves is idolatry. Jesus demands Lordship over all such things.

Billy Graham

Many believe that pagan worship is a thing of the past, but it is ever present—we have just given it a new name: pop culture.

Billy Graham

The true child of God will have a hunger for worship and God’s Word.

Billy Graham

We are to till the soil and work the land—not worship it.

Billy Graham

God is more concerned about the attitude of our hearts than the way we express it. Worship isn’t supposed to be entertainment.

Billy Graham

Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

Anonymous

Richard J. Foster

I carry too much of the week into the Sabbath , and too little of the Sabbath into the week. John Quincy Adams

Paul C. Nagel

Dante subsumed everything, and so, in a sense, secularized nothing.

Harold Bloom

The 2 extremes, neither one worse than the other: the result of bad religion is self-loathing and violence; the result of bad spirituality is self-worship and narcissism.

Criss Jami

Dance with your sacred rhythm.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Science is a kind of worship to find the truth.

Debasish Mridha

It is when we experience God most closely that our hearts burn most passionately to show his compassion to others.

Dillon Burroughs

[Jesus is] saying that we could be aware of, filled with, and saved by the presence of holy beauty, rather than worship golden calves.

Anne Lamott

He wants in His freedom actually not to be without man but WITH him and in the same freedom not against him but FOR him, and that apart from or even counter to what man deserves. He wants in fact to be man's partner, his almighty and compassionate Saviour. He chooses to give man the benefit of His power, which encompasses not only the high and the distant but also the deep and the near, in order to maintain communion with him in the realm guaranteed by His deity. He determines to love him, to be his God, his Lord, his compassionate Preserver and Saviour to eternal life, and to desire his praise and service.

Karl Barth

True worship can only take place when we agree to God sitting not only on His throne in the center of the universe, but on the throne that stands in the center of our heart.

Robert Colman

When we worship, we ascend, when we ascend we gain revelation from God.

Chuck D. Pierce

For years, the church has emphasized evangelism, teaching, fellowship, missions, and service to society to the neglect of the very source of its power--worship.

Robert E. Webber

There are no unique postures and times and limitations that restrict our access to God. My relationship with God is intimate and personal. The Christian does not go to the temple to worship. The Christian takes the temple with him or her. Jesus lifts us beyond the building and pays the human body the highest compliment by making it His dwelling place, the place where He meets with us. Even today He would overturn the tables of those who make it a marketplace for their own lust, greed and wealth.

Ravi Zacharias

Choosing one thing over another doesn't necessarily mean we love the thing we choose. If given the choice to eat spinach or broccoli, you may choose broccoli. It may only mean you don't want to eat spinach. Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell. Heaven is reserved for those who love Jesus, who have been rescued by Him and who long to praise Him. If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for Heaven.

Matt Chandler

If the Cross is God’s masterpiece of His love, then the Eucharist is the centerpiece of our worship.

Gangai Victor

If Jesus is not the focus, the worship is bogus.

Gangai Victor

Put it this way: if your idea of God, if your idea of the salvation offered in Christ, is vague or remote, your idea of worship will be fuzzy and ill-formed. The closer you get to the truth, the clearer becomes the beauty, and the more you will find worship welling up within you. That's why theology and worship belong together. The one isn't just a headtrip; the other isn't just emotion.

N.T. Wright

You cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.

D A Carson

The Purpose of the Eucharist lies not in the change of the bread and wine, but in the partaking of Christ, who has become our food, our life, the manifestation of the Church as the body of Christ. This is why the gifts themselves never became in the Orthodox East an object of special reverence, contemplation, and adoration, and likewise an object of special theological 'problematics': how, when, in what manner their change is accomplished.

Alexander Schmemann

God is the message owner; prophets and pastors are messengers. It's happens on no account when the messenger becomes greater than the message owner! Let's us avoid these "human worships", confining our source of hope in prophets, kings, presidents, lawyers, etc. God deserves the greatest honour!

Israelmore Ayivor

A mature heart for Christ would much rather spend its time praising him than condemning his fanatics.

Criss Jami

The liturgy is the place where we wait for Jesus to show up. We don't have to do much. The liturgy is not an act of will. It is not a series of activities designed to attain a spiritual mental state. We do not have to apply will pressure. To be sure, like basketball or football, it is something that requires a lot of practice--its rhythms do not come naturally except to those who have been rehearsing them for years. On some Sundays the soul will indeed battle to even pay attention. In the normal course of worship, we do not have to conjure up feelings or a devotional mood; we are not required to perform the liturgy flawlessly. Such anxious effort... blind us to what is really going on.We do have to show up, and we cannot leave early. But if we will dwell there, remain in place, wait patiently, Jesus will show up.

Mark Galli

WORSHIP LEADERSHIP.Mere talents does not give glory to God but a humble heart.

Mac Canoza

If I worship the fact that I don’t worship anything, amongst other things what I’m worshipping is denial.
