worship

When people believe that what you believe is what they believe, they turn you into a belief.

I pity the man who praises God only when things go his way.

Great God.Glorious God.Gracious God.

You can worship God twenty four hours a day but your destiny depends on the cards he lets you play

The Lord is great.The Lord is gracious.

What a glorious God!

This life is the only opportunity we will have to worship God in the midst of trials and tests. Heaven will be perfect.

Too fair to worship, too divine to love.

The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the sun, in which they put a man called Christ in the place of the sun, and pay him the adoration originally payed to the sun.

Only the living souls can praise the living God.

(Life) it was a little bit nearer than God, but no less powerful and terrible. Yes, it was something, perhaps, that one did not wish to understand because one feared it, something to which one paid tribute lest it should feel offended and seize one, body and soul.

In the desert, the only god is a well.

The yogi can relate to his Beloved in the form of a personal relationship-as a friend, a child, a spouse. He can cherish God in traditional religious performances__onoring saints, holy sites, and scriptures. He can hold God dear in the form of union__s his own Self, or in samadhi. All forms of God are equally suitable for love. (165)

The real crisis of worship today is not that the preaching is paltry or that it__ too drafty in church. It is that people have no sense of the presence of God, and if they have no sense of His presence, how can they be moved to express the deepest feelings of their souls to honor, revere, worship, and glorify God?

God's relationship with man does not work in a way in which man stumbles and then God has to drop what he is doing in order to lift him up; rather, man stumbles so that God can lift him up. Hence it is utterly impossible to truly diminish his glory.

The noise around us determines how we speak. And how we listen. Just as a conversation suffers in a war zone, art suffers in a culture built on noise. So does our enjoyment of it.

What a Christian portrays in his art is the totality of life. Art is not to be a vehicle for self-conscious evangelism. Christians ought not to be threatened by fantasy and imagination. The Christian is the really free man. He is free to have imagination.

Because we want to be inwardly secure, we are constantly seeking methods and means for this security, and thereby we create authority, the worship of another, which destroys comprehension, that spontaneous tranquility of mind in which alone there can be a state of creativeness.
