Real Worship. Real Worshippers.

"When we believe that we should be satisfied rather then God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for him." -Stephan Charnach "When we take consumerism and bring it into the experience of our church life, than we are virtually done; because the whole experience of worship can never begin with what I am about to receive, but always begins with what I am about to give. The fact that we can never offer anything save the overflow of a life that is full of God." -Alister Begg "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." -Jesus (John 4:23-24)
