We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.

Worship
Self-love vs God love – Thomas Manton
Self-love may lead us to prayers, but love to God excites us to praises.

True spiritual worship – AW Tozer
I wonder if there was ever a time when true spiritual worship was at a lower ebb. To great sections of the church, the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the “program.” This word has been borrowed from the stage and applied with sad wisdom to the public service which now passes for worship among us.

Worship is natural to the Christian – JI Packer
We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal.

The highest and purest act of religion – Thomas Watson
Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

Thence springs forth – JI Packer
Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.

Singing lies? – AW Tozer
Christians don’t tell lies—they just go to church and sing them.

Worry less, give thanks more – Harry Ironside
We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

True Worship – AW Tozer
Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.
