God Made Us To Worship Him

Posted on by under A. W. Tozer

It is a fact that God made us to worship Him, and if we had not fallen with Adam and Eve, worship would have been the most natural thing for us. Sinning was not the natural thing for Adam and Eve, but they disobeyed and fell, losing their privilege of perfect fellowship with God, the Creator. Sin is the unnatural thing; it was never intended by God to be our nature. Men and women who are out of fellowship with God, the Creator, still have an instinct toward some practice of worship.

A. W. Tozer (1897-1963)

Worship and the Knowledge of God

Posted on by under D. Martin Lloyd-Jones

Knowledge of God comes before any particular blessing that we may desire from Him. The goal of our seeking and all our worship and all our endeavour should not be to have a particular experience; it should not be to petition certain blessings; it should be to know God Himself — the Giver not the gift, the source and fount of every blessing, not the blessing itself.

Martin Lloyd-Jones, Great Doctrines of the Bible

The Fuel of Our Praise

Posted on by under Bob Kauflin

We gather as the church to proclaim the truth. We gather to declare — to ourselves, to each other, and to God — what we know to be eternal reality. There is one God, who is sovereign over the universe and every detail of our lives. We have rebelled against Him. He sent His Son to die in our place for our sins. And through Jesus Christ we have our forgiveness and peace with God.

There are many things we can proclaim during and after a time of corporate worship. God’s glory is unending, and His perfections are infinite. But the fuel of our praise will always be the Gospel of Christ who has redeemed us and brought us to God.
