Worship is a Verb

“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church. Worship is. Missions exists because  worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.”

—John Piper

Let the Nations Be Glad

“The liturgy of my night—lock the doors, brush my teeth, get a glass of water, turn out the lights, pull back the covers, crawl into bed, curl up, close my eyes—is a repetitive, mundane, and good thing, through which I’ve learned to slow down, to let go of the day behind me, and go to sleep. Similarly, corporate worship trains us, over time, to cease striving to make our own way and mourn own righteousness and to receive God’s means of grace.”

—Tish Harrison Warren

Liturgy of the Ordinary

“The parallel between worship and other areas of human life should not surprise us, because, in one sense, worship is all of life.”

—John Frame
