I think worship is a lifestyle, first of all.

I think one of my greatest gifts is leading worship.

A service of worship is primarily a service to God. When we realize this and act upon it, we make it a service to men.

This is the beauty of the Qur'an: it asks you to reflect and reason, and not to worship the sun or moon but the One who has created everything. The Qur'an asks man to reflect upon the sun and moon and God's creation in general.

The real advantage for me is that I have the opportunity to lead worship every Sunday.

I come from the performance world, but the idea of a worship song is different. It's useful music.

The Law is never weary of again and again repeating its injunction of local unity of worship.

From the building of the temple of Solomon, which is also treated as a leading epoch in chronology, a new period in the history of worship is accordingly dated, - and to a certain extent with justice.

As we learn from the New Testament, the Jews and the Samaritans in the days of Jesus were not agreed on the question which was the proper place of worship, but that there could be only one was taken to be as certain as the unity of God Himself.
