Worship: What Do You Love?

September 10, 2017 | David Speakman

Series: Worship in Spirit and Truth

Scripture: Psalm 115

“Every man becomes the image of the God he adores. He whose worship is directed to a dead thing becomes dead. He who loves corruption rots. He who loves a shadow becomes, himself, a shadow. He who loves things that must perish lives in dread of their perishing.”

—Thomas Merton

 

“False gods destroy and devour lives, health and resources; they distort and diminish our humanity; they preside over injustice, greed, perversion, cruelty, lust and violence.  It is possibly the most satanic dimension of their deceptive power, that in spite of all this, they still persuade people that they are the beneficent protectors of their worshipers’ identity, dignity and prosperity, and must therefore be defended at all costs.  Only the gospel can unmask these claims.  Only the gospel exposes the cancer of idolatry.  Only the gospel is good for people.”

 —Christopher Wright

 

“Worship is the strategy by which we interrupt our preoccupation with ourselves and attend to the presence of God.”

—Eugene Peterson
