Sunday Praise and Worship Thoughts

• “Let another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips.” – Proverbs 27:2

• “Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.” – Ecclesiastes 15:9

• “I have never known a man, who habitually and on principle absented himself from the public worship of God, who did not sooner or later bring sorrow upon himself or his family.” – Henry W. Bellows

• "The time has come for a revival of public worship as the finest of the fine arts...While there is a call for strong preaching there is even a greater need for uplifting worship." - Andrew W. Blackwood

• "Surely that which occupies the total time and energies of heaven must be a fitting pattern for earth."  - Paul E. Billheimer 

• “If Socrates should enter the room, we would all rise and do him honor. But if Jesus Christ came into the room, we would all fall down and worship him”- Napoleon Bonaparte

• "If we are going to worship in Spirit, we must develop a spirit of worship." - Michael Catt

• “The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.” - Billy Graham

• "We only learn to behave ourselves in the presence of God." - C. S. Lewis

• “It’s sad but true: most of us are playing it safe when it comes to releasing genuine creativity in corporate worship.” – David Ruis

• “There is no worship of God that is better than the hearing of a sermon." - Charles H. Spurgeon

• “Consider whom we profess to worship, and we shall not hurry into his presence as
  men run to a fire. Moses, the man of God, was warned to put off his shoes from off his
  feet when God only revealed himself in a bush; how should we prepare ourselves
  when we come to him who reveals himself in Christ Jesus his dear Son?” – Charles H. Spurgeon

• "When God's people begin to praise and worship Him using the Biblical methods He gives, the Power of His presence comes among His people in an even greater measure." - Graham Truscott

• “It is delightful to worship God, but it is also a humbling thing; and the man who has not been humbled in the presence of God will never be a worshiper of God at all. He may be church member who keeps the rules and obeys the discipline, and who tithes and goes to conference, but he’ll never be a worshiper unless he is deeply humbling. “ – A.W. Tozer

• "How quickly we forget what it's all about. We can get so strategic that we worship so our church will grow, not because He is worthy. But we're doing all this because God is worthy and we want to worship Him." -Tommy Walker

• “True worship is a lifestyle; it’s not just regulated to Sunday mornings.” - David Walters

• “Worship, the act of freely giving love to God, forms and informs every activity of the Christian’s life .” – John Wimber

• “Our true worship says to Him that we understand we have been purchased with His son’s blood.”— Jacob Toback
