"Our coming together in public worship should be a foretaste of heaven. Public worship should be a gathering of the first fruits, a sampling of what is to be our lot in heaven".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Ephesians: God's Ultimate Purpose (Ephesians 1) - Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh - (p308).

Rob Rufus on Glorious End-Time Worship
"How essential it is, right now as we stand at the consummation of the ages, as history is about to be summed up and concluded in Christ, that we be captured and capitulate to the beauty of our God. We will certainly see mass repentance among the lost if we would cut away everything that caters for us and invite the Spirit of God to take us into a realm of glory reserved for a ‘last days people’".

Bob Kauflin on why All SGM Worship Leaders are Men
"However, in Sovereign Grace churches, given the importance of congregational singing, our worship leaders are fulfilling a very important role. They aren't simply leading "music"-we desire them to direct people's hearts, minds, and wills to the truths that they're singing. Their role includes elements that involve a degree of teaching, leading, and pastoring, which we believe the Bible says are male roles in the church. For that reason, all our worship leaders are men".

Ruth Heflin on Worship and the Glory
"It is worship that brings forth the glory and God's ultimate desire is that the glory of the Lord "covers the earth as the waters cover the sea". The glory will descend as snow. The praisers pray until the spirit of worship comes. The worshippers worship until the glory is manifested".

Ruth Heflin on the Anointing in Church
"The ministry of praise increases the anointing in the service. It increases the anointing in the individual. But the ministry of worship brings the glory. Praise brings the anointing to worship and worship brings that anointing of glory".
Ruth Heflin - "Glory" - downloaded from website; Sunday 20th January 2008 - p86.
Ruth Heflin on Worship Leaders
"When a worship leader is concious that the anointing has built to the place that the spirit of worship comes, he should slip quickly into a little song of worship. It should be less wordy than the song of praise. When you worship, you don't need to say great things".
Ruth Heflin - "Glory" - downloaded from website; Sunday 20th January 2008 - pp85-86.

A W Tozer on Worship and Experience
"Worship becomes a completely personal love experience between God and the worshipper".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p69).
A W Tozer on Worship and Experience
"Real worship is a feeling about the Lord our God. It is in our hearts. And we must be willing to express it in an appropriate manner".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p65).
A W Tozer on Worship and Experience
"I have had people tell me very dogmatically that they will never allow "feeling" that they will never allow "feeling" to have any part in their spiritual life and experience. I reply "too bad for you!" - I say that because I have voiced a very real definition of what I believe true worship is to be: Worship is to feel in the heart!".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p64).
A W Tozer on the Church and Worship
"That is why there is a Church. The Christian church exists to worship God first of all. Everything else must come second or third or fourth or fifth".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p45).
A W Tozer on the Holy Spirit and Worship
"Without an infusion of the Holy Spirit there can be no true worship".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p38).
A W Tozer on the Holy Spirit and Worship
"If the Holy Spirit should come upon us as in earlier times, visiting church congregations with the sweet but fiery breath of Pentecost, we would be greater Christians and holier souls. Beyond that we would also be greater poets and greater lovers of God and His universe".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p37).
A W Tozer on Worship and Communion with God
"The God who desires our fellowship and communion is not hard to please although He may be hard to satisfy. He expects of us only what He has Himself supplied. He is quick to mark every simple effort to please Him and just as quick to overlook our imperfections when He knows we meant to do His will".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p25).
A W Tozer on Worship versus Pharisee
"Unbeknown to the understanding of a Pharisee, God communes with His redeemed ones in an easy unhibited fellowship that is restful and healing to the soul".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p25).
A W Tozer on Worship and Pleasure in God
"The blessed and inviting truth is that God is the most winsome of all beings and in our worship of Him we should find unspeakable pleasures".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p25).
A W Tozer on Worship
"I wish that we might get back to worship again. Then when people come into the Church they will instantly sense that they come among holy people, God's people. They can testify; "Of a truth God is in this place".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p20).
A W Tozer on Worship and Revival
"We should say too that whenever the church has come out of her lethargy rising from her sleep and into the tides of revival and spiritual renewal, always the worshippers were behind it".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p19).
A W Tozer on Worship and Passion
"Listen to me! Practically every great deed done in the church of Christ all the way back to the apostle Paul was done by people blazing with the radiant worship of their God".
A W Tozer - "Whatever Happened to Worship?" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1985) - (p19).
