The Heart of Worship
Without the heart it is no worship. It is a stage play. It is an acting of a part without being that person, really. It is playing the hypocrite.
The Supreme Admiration of Worship
Worship is the supreme admiration, culminating in imitation.
The One True Worshiper
Since our salvation is received in union with Christ, what is His by nature is ours by grace. Thus, in His self-offering to the Father, He offers us His people in Him. We are thereby enabled to share in the relation He has with the Father…. Thus, Christ is, in reality, the one true worshiper, and our worship is a participation in His.
Worship Is the Gift of God’s Grace
It is God’s wonderful kindness to the fallen race of humanity that He has willed that all of the knowledge needful for an awareness of Him, and for correct worship of Him, should be provided by Him and proceed from Himself, lest we be left to stumble on in our own blindness.
John Owen, Biblical Theology, p. 16
Worship Breeds Worship
Contemplation of God generates worship; worship of God heightens contemplation of God. The more we contemplate Him, the more impressed we must be by Him, and consequently, the more we are moved to worship Him. Worship breeds worship.
Michael P. V. Barrett, The Beauty of Holiness, p. 60
God Alone Defines Worship
God has, in no way and at no time, from the foundation of the world, allowed human judgment to give His worship its limits or measure.
John Owen, Biblical Theology, p. 434
The Empty Soul Is Filled
Worship is the means by which the empty human soul approaches God in order to be filled with His fulness, and then go away rejoicing, to live for Him in the strength thus received.
James Stalker, Imago Christi, p. 51
Thou Art Worthy, O Lord!
God is the only worthy object of all religious worship, and nothing can be true religion but a voluntary obedience unto His revealed will.
Worship That Empowers
The only sort of public worship which will enable us to meet the needs of our day, and under God, to solve its problems, is that which centers in Christ as the Son of God.
Andrew Blackwood, The Fine Art of Public Worship, p. 50
