One thing it makes me realize is just how similar we all are, around the globe. The details may be different, but every human heart is touched by themes like hope, comfort and mercy.

The heart of God loves a persevering worshipper who, though overwhelmed by many troubles, is overwhelmed even more by the beauty of God.

I love to say that not only is the throne room of God a place of reverence, it's always a place of refuge. So when everything else in life seems to be shifting, or breaking and shaking apart, there's a place that is always stable, safe, and constant. When we draw near to God in worship, and approach His throne, we tap into that. It's a very re-assuring place, where we're reminded that there's a God on His throne, and even when we don't understand everything, we can trust it to Him.

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

The revelation of God is the fuel for the fire of our worship

Anthony Skinner has a fire in his heart to worship God, and to encourage and equip others to do the same.

Worship songs can't just be rooted in culture - they won't be deep enough. They have to be rooted in scripture.
