God first seeks devotion to Him in the hidden placeโworship when no one else is watching.
Matt RedmanThere is no lapse in His character or inconsistency in His nature. Our God is everything he says He isโฆ for now and all eternity.
Matt RedmanWorship songs can't just be rooted in culture - they won't be deep enough. They have to be rooted in scripture.
Matt RedmanWhen we, believers, sing our songs of worship, not only do we praise God through them, but we preach to ourselves. As we sing the truth of who it is we're worshipping, as well as honoring God, it can be so helpful to us. Worship is about magnifying the right things. It can be so easy to let the struggles of this become all consuming, and we must not ignore them. But when we worship, instead of magnifying and focusing on those things, we magnify and focus on the name, the strength, the power, the grace of Jesus. When we do that, it puts everything into perspective.
