Any outward acts of worship in a church service must begin in the heart. Right worship starts with right thinking.

Your butt in a pew does not true worship make.

Here’s the inevitable truth: our hearts will always find something to worship, and that will motivate how we live.

It’s hard to imagine what changed after that first bite of forbidden fruit, but it must have been a little like the power going out in the dead of winter. The warm light of God’s perfect presence vanished and chill dread must have swollen inside them.

Problems don’t get fixed by ignoring them. Putting them off ultimately does more harm than good – all it does is waste time and burden us with stress.

It’s impossible to know what sin is if we don’t know what God says.

Rest makes us better workers and better worshipers.

Jesus changes everything about a person’s life, from the obvious to the unseen. He shatters black and white into brilliant color and shakes the asleep until they’re wide awake.
