I was reading the February 2015 edition of the Calgary Diocesan newspaper, The Sower, this morning and found the following quotes there. They so describe the kind of church worship times that pulled me into the church during my first ten years as a disciple of Christ. They were glorious times and amazing days. They describe the kind of worship that touches my heart still today. I pray I will find myself in a church in our new city of residence that worships and rejoices on so many levels as a regular practice.
"The
secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is
worship. You need worship. You need great
worship. You need weeping worship. You need
glorious worship. You need to sense God's greatness and
to be moved by it - moved to tears and moved to laughter -
moved by who God is and what He has done for you." - Tim
Keller, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York
City
"God directs his people not simply to worship
but to sing his praises 'before the Nations'. We are
called not simply to communicate the Gospel to non-believers;
we must also intentionally celebrate the Gospel before
them."-Tim Keller
"Rejoice! Rejoice!
Let
every tongue rejoice
One heart, one voice,
O Church of
Christ, rejoice."-Townend/Getty - Come People of the Risen
King
