Here are some quotes about worship that Scott Jackson shared at the beginning of his sermon this week. They were so good you might want to take a second look as you strive to worship God throughout this week.
Warren Wiersbe -
“Worship is the believers response to all that he is – mind, emotions, will, and body – to all that God is and says and does.”
Charles H. Spurgeon -
“God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.”
A. W. Tozer -
“Without worship, we go about miserable.”
Manley Beasley -
“‘A glimpse of God will save you. To gaze at Him will sanctify you.”
C. S. Lewis -
“We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God.”
Richard Foster -
“As worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience.
Jack Hayford -
“Worship changes the worshiper into the image of the One worshiped”
Lamar Boschman -
“When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words than my words be without heart.”
Graham Kendrick -
“Worship is first and foremost for His benefit, not ours, though it is marvelous to discover that in giving Him pleasure, we ourselves enter into what can become our richest and most wholesome experience in life.”
C.S. Lewis -
“It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.”
Ralph Mahoney -
“Whenever His people gather and worship Him, God promises He will make His presence known in their midst. On the other hand, where God’s people consistently neglect true spiritual worship, His manifest presence is rarely experienced.”
Paul E. Billheimer -
“Surely that which occupies the total time and energies of heaven must be a fitting pattern for earth.”
Marianne H. Micks -
“When we worship together as a community of living Christians, we do not worship alone, we worship ‘with all the company of heaven.’”
Henry Sloane Coffin -
“If there is one characteristic more than others that contemporary public worship needs to recapture it is this awe before the surpassingly great and gracious God.”
Andrew W. Blackwood -
“The time has come for a revival of public worship as the finest of the fine arts…While there is a call for strong preaching there is even a greater need for uplifting worship.”
C.S. Lewis -
“The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance.”
