Quotes On Worship and "Together For The Gospel Live Cd"

"The first and most important thing to be said about true worship is that it is to honour God. If what we call worship is not God-centred and God-honouring, it is not worship"-Boice

"The old hymns expressed the theology of the church in profound and perceptive ways and with winsome, memorable language. They lifted the worshipper's thoughts to God and gave him striking words by which to remember God's attributes. Today's songs reflect our shallow or nonexistent theology and do almost nothing to elevate one's thoughts about God"- Boice

"You do not glorify God as God unless you come into His presence with much fear and reverence of His great name. Fear in worshipping God is so necessary that many times in Scripture we find that the very worship of God is called the fear of God" Burroughs

"At its heart, the way we worship is shaped by what we really believe. Worship is the ritual reenactment of our theology. If in our worship people are not confronted with God’s judgment and grace, any seeming success in evangelism is actually failure, and we have only made genuine evangelism more difficult."- Michael Horton

"Value God's people singing, over the sound of musical instruments"- Bob Kauflin

"God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”- John 4:24

Here is one of my favorite worships Cd's. It is composed of hymns that seek to glorify Christ. It is simply five thousand voices singing to God. There are no guitars, no drums, or anything of that nature. So, if that's what you're looking for, this isn't it. On the other hand- it is richly overwhelming and nothing short of beautiful to listen to God's people coming together in one place, to worship the Triune God. Here is the link

In Christ, Awretchsaved
