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

The church has been under-fathered and over-mothered.

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

We can always find a reason to praise. Situations change for better and for worse, but God's worth never changes.

In some of the best worship songs we bring our praises to God - yet at the same time also end up preaching to ourselves.

The sense of being alone is a huge issue for so many people in this world. As a worshipper of Jesus, there's a very real sense that we are always seen, held and known.

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.
