It's not the art, it's the heart. What [God] reads during our worship is the inner attitude. Worship is spiritual; it's organic; it's relational.

You haven't prepared yourself for worship if you just practice musical art

Don't let life affect your worship; let your worship effect life

A lukewarm heart cannot perform boiling hot worship! Heat up our hearts for God and the temperature of our worship will increase!

When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words than my words be without heart.

Our entire being is fashioned as an instrument of praise. Just as a master violin maker designs an instrument to produce maximum aesthetic results, so God tailor-made our bodies, souls and spirits to work together in consonance to produce pleasing expressions of praise and worship. When we use body language to express praise, that which is internal becomes visible.

Worship is first and foremost for His benefit, not ours, though it is marvelous to discover that in giving Him pleasure, we ourselves enter into what can become our richest and most wholesome experience in life.
