Love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one.

Jerusalem meant one thing for Jesus: certain death.

Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.

The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.

Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth.

The immensity of His worth is reflected in the intensity of your worship.

The inner essence of worship is cherishing Christ as gain - indeed as more gain than all that life can offer - family, career, retirement, fame, food, friends. The essence of worship is experiencing Christ as gain. Or to use words that we love to use around here: it is savoring Christ, treasuring Christ, being satisfied with Christ.
