quotations about worship
Divine worship is one of the chiefest jewels of God's crown, which he will by no means part with.
GEORGE SWINNOCK

When we find that God's ways always coincide with our own ways, it's time to question who we're really worshipping, God or ourselves.
CRISS JAMI

Nobody wants to worship you if you have the same problems, the same bad breath and messy hair and hangnails, as a regular person. You have to be everything regular people aren't. Where they fail, you have to go all the way. Be what people are too afraid to be. Become whom they admire. People shopping for a messiah want quality. Nobody is going to follow a loser.
CHUCK PALAHNIUK
Survivor
[The] heart is the place in which an acquaintance with God must be sought. It is there we must worship him, if we would worship him in spirit and in truth.

We think that we have gotten rid of idolatry because we no longer worship painted or carved images, as though these where the only idols.
LYMAN ABBOTT
Seeking After God
I don't think God wants to be worshiped. I think the only pure worship of God is by loving one another, and I think all other forms of worship became a substitute for the love that we should show one another.
CHARLES M. SCHULZ
Charles M. Schulz: Conversations
As the skull of the man grows broader, so do his creeds.
And his gods they are shaped in his image and mirror his needs.
And he clothes them with thunders and beauty,
He clothes them with music and fire,
Seeing not, as he bows by their altars,
That he worships his own desire.
