“...I worship at the temple of your body and without you, I d have no art...”
“We worship Him not because He is the best of our gods, but because He is, or was, the greatest killer among them.”
“All Abrahamists worship God as a king, not as a divinity that transcends the human condition. They are locked into an ancient and pathetic mindset based on the power of megalomaniacal monarchs. They are on their knees because that’s what ancient peoples did in the presence of kings. In the modern day, they worship the rich, just as they once worshipped monarchs.”
“Bring your problems UPwards not OUTwards.”
“There is for man no preoccupation more constant or more nagging than, while in a condition of freedom, quickly to find someone to bow down before.”
“Participative worship is intentionally collaborative and is not guarded, territorial, or defensive. It trusts the creative abilities and resources of the whole in the planning, preparation, and implementation. Consequently, participatory leaders are not threatened when someone else gets their way or gets the credit. Participatory worship is a culture, not a one-time event.”
“If churches want great worship leaders in the future, they must invest in not-yet-great worship leaders in the present.”
“No matter how large or small, every church should be developing distinctly and becoming uniquely the congregation God has called them to be. Loving the Lord with heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving our neighbor as we love ourselves are never contingent on congregational size or abilities.”
“Comparing our worship to the worship of another congregation means we are trying to measure up to a standard God has called them to, not the one God has called us to.”
