Worship Quotes

“True worship leaders worship the Lord at all times and use songs only when necessary.”

“Although there are things that can be done to enhance corporate worship, there is a profound sense in which excellent worship cannot be attained merely by pursuing excellent worship. In the same way that, according to Jesus, you cannot find yourself until you lose yourself, so also you cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself. Despite the protestations, one sometimes wonders if we are beginning to worship worship rather than worship God.

Historically, attempts to deduce norms for worship from scripture fail because the Bible was not written for such a purpose.”

“If you do not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him on one day a week. There is no such thing known in heaven as Sunday worship unless it is accompanied by Monday worship and Tuesday worship and so on.”

“O Alaah, i haven't worshiped you because of lusting of heaven or fearing of hill. I've worshiped you because you deserve to be worshiped.”

“True worship comes when we learn to close our eyes and focus only on Him.”

“Worship is not about having a fantastic voice.”
