Listening to God Forum: Worship

"For it is good to sing praises unto our God”

Psalm 147:1

“It is good because it is right; good because it is acceptable with God, beneficial to ourselves, and stimulating to our fellows. The goodness of an exercise is good argument with good men for its continual practice. Singing the divine praises is the best possible use of speech: it speaks of God, for God, and to God, and it does this in a joyful and reverent manner. Singing in the heart is good, but singing with heart and voice is better, for it allows others to join with us.”

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1893), "Treasury of David" (Written over two decades)

"I can safely say, on the authority of all that is written in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored or turned off by worship in not ready for heaven." -- A.W. Tozer

"Worship is what we were created for. This is the final end of all existence-the worship of God. God created the universe so that it would display the worth of His glory. And He created us so that we would see this glory and reflect it by knowing and loving it-with all our heart and soul and mind and strength." -- John Piper
