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.
– JI Packer –
When we really worship anything, we love not only its clearness but its obscurity. We exult in its very invisibility.
– GK Chesterton –
You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.
– AW Tozer –
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God. Worship is pure or base as the worshipper entertains high or low thoughts of God. For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself.

– AW Tozer –
Only when we are captured by an overwhelming sense of awe and reverence in the presence of God, will we begin to worship God in spirit and in truth.
– Alistair Begg –
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find all in Jesus.
– Charles Spurgeon –
We’re here to be worshippers first, and workers only second … The work done by a worshipper will have eternity in it.
– AW Tozer –
Why do we not lay open our heart to God and beg Him to put into it whatever is most pleasing to Him?
