Christian worship must contain both the cross and the crown. Sing of majesty, and sing of mercy.

I love the intensity of the Psalms. No-one ever sounds bored about God or about life in the Psalms.

Praise is a contradiction of pride. Pride says 'looks at me,' but praise longs for people to see Jesus.

We are to live in eager expectation of our heavenly inheritance.

I have the privilege of ministering in many different streams of the church. When you do that you're never going to subscribe to everything each other believe, but there's always so much common ground. The main and plain stuff you have in common, so you build upon that. I've never found a stream of the church I didn't learn something from. Every single time, even if I didn't personally agree with everything, there was something I took away, or learned, and felt like a stronger worshipper or worship leader.

As a writer of worship songs, I have a hunger to write deep songs of passionate reverence to God. Yet I'm aware I cannot sing before I have seen. All worship is a response to a revelation--it's only as we breathe in more of the wonders of God that we can breathe out a fuller response to Him....the key to a life of passionate and powerful worship comes from seeing God.

God first seeks devotion to Him in the hidden place–worship when no one else is watching.
