Every time you say ‘I don’t want to hear it’ when someone is going to tell an ethnic joke, or every time you help somebody cross the street or put money in the bucket in your place of worship, you’re making a difference.
In terms of worship, I think we ought to have the right people leading.
We need a new order of ministers to stand in pulpits. It’s not enough to sing and praise God in worship services. Any religion that doesn’t encourage us to work together to end the needless suffering all around us is godless.
We have a need to be religious, we need to worship, we need to build totems and shrines and icons, but nobody’s sure in honor of what.
The temple is a place of worship. Reverence is a supernal form of worship. It is the form of worship found in the celestial kingdom.

Conservatives may worship Adam Smith’s ‘invisible hand,’ but for Obama, the helping hand comes in large measure from the public, not the private sector. To call this ‘socialism’ is to do violence to the word and to the concept. To call it ‘un-American’ is a smear.
I sang in the choir growing up and more recently served on the worship team at my church in California.
I suppose movie theaters are the churches of the modern age, where we gather reverently to worship the tinsel gods of Hollywood.
But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.
Great masters neither want nor need your worship. Your greatest gift to them and yourself is to emulate their divinity by claiming it as your own.
We were so fundamental that almost everything had been stripped away from the place of worship. Think of the role words can play, when all other enticements and sensual attractions are gone.

I don’t worship the Bible, I worship the God who gave the Bible.
The eyes of some of the fans at Davis Cup matches scare me. There’s no light in them. Fixed emotions. Blind worship. Horror. It makes me think of what happened to us long ago.
If we are going to use places of worship as polling places, we should not discriminate.
We try to do everything that we can to make Christ the center of attention. Our goal is to kind of broaden the definition of worship. I know that God has always used us as a forefront for people to draw closer to Him and get into His presence.
For me, work is worship, and it is not just the number of movies I make but the quality which matters most, irrespective of how they eventually fare at the box office.
I don’t think, ‘Gee, I’d like to dress this person.’ There was a picture in Us magazine. It was a jersey dress, and Courtney Love was wearing it. I have this thing about Courtney Love, this funny worship.
I may be wrong, but the essential illustrative nature of most documentary photography, and the worship of the object per se, in our best nature photography, is not enough to satisfy the man of today, compounded as he is of Christ, Freud, and Marx.
Though the world may often appear to be more charitable than the church, it is crucial to remember that, for the church, the care of the poor cannot be separated from the worship of God.
I’m a committed Christian. I worship in my own way. That’s my business. That’s not the business of the pharisees who are going to preach to me about what I do and then do something else.
Our founding documents didn’t just protect the right to bear arms: they were designed to protect all the principles upon which America was founded – and the first among those were freedom of worship, peaceful assembly, and the right to free speech.
When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
Scientology is not written with disrespect toward God. It doesn’t worship something that is evil. It is scientific, mathematical, and spiritual. The black community has to check it out and see what’s there. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but you have to take a look.
That’s the best worship you can get when the worship leader is there with no other intentions and ready to sing their heart out for the Lord.
Most comics worship music on some level. It’s more rock-n-roll to get up there for an hour and make people laugh.
In the Lord’s Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
I don’t hero worship for the sake of hero worship. When I find people who are truly remarkable – and I think Joseph Needham is a classic example – I do value their counsel.
I come from the performance world, but the idea of a worship song is different. It’s useful music.
An authentic life is the most personal form of worship. Everyday life has become my prayer.
Whether the Sikhs want to worship in Wisconsin or the Christians want to worship in Texas or the Jews want to worship in New York, we’re living under the magnificent umbrella of a Constitution that says we can.
There’s nobody more opposite from John Shaft than a kid who worships a banana as his god.
I believe Florida deserves a candidate who will work for Florida every single day and campaign for every Florida voter, no matter where they live, how they worship, or what language they speak around the dinner table.
Look at Rihanna. She’s so sexy. She comes from Planet Sexy. I worship her. I really, really do.
If every moment is sacred, and If you are amazed and in awe most of the time when you find yourself breathing and not crazy, then you are in a state of constant thankfulness, worship and humility.
Because Bin Laden’s culture doesn’t permit the worship of images, they understand how powerful images are. We wouldn’t have thought of creating a visual bomb. In a way, he’s chopped down two iconic buildings, and used our very truth imagery, to express himself. It’s fascinating… I mean, dreadful.
Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age.
People worship and revere Ganga as a mother, and then throw away flowers in a plastic bag into the same river.
‘Ravi’ means ‘sun.’ It’s a Sanskrit original word. And ‘Shankar’ is another name of Shiva, one of the holy trinity god that we worship.
Too fair to worship, too divine to love.
While our bipartisan establishment worships diversity, Trump saw Middle America recoiling from the demographic change brought about by Third World invasions. And he promised to curb them.
Worldly influences would hinder use of our agency afforded through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. But we are agents who can act, and that affects everything in terms of how we live the gospel in our daily lives. It affects how we pray, how we study the scriptures, how we worship at church.
Although we love the idea of choice – our culture almost worships it – we seek refuge in the familiar and the comfortable.
There must be freedom for all to live, to think, to worship, no book, no avenue must be closed.
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
The mosque was the neighbourhood house of worship, but it was also the place where my high school friends and I came to study.
Even the most left-wing politicians worship wealth creation – as the political-action-committee collection plate is passed.
There is plenty of television. There are plenty of talk shows. There are plenty of comedians. But there is not plenty of worship of the true and living God.
The God of Islam is not the same God of the Judaeo-Christian faith. The God that we worship in Christianity is a God that has a Son. To Islam, that is blasphemy, to say that God has a son. Therefore, they do not worship the God that we worship.
I respect the office of the presidency, but I never worship at the shrines of our public servants… The Washington press corps has the privilege of asking the president of the United States what he is doing and why.
I listen to worship music before the game to calm my nerves and just go out and have fun. It’s a game, and I try to enjoy it.
We have jokingly said if you’ve got good hair, can sing and know three chords, you can lead worship at First Baptist Houston or wherever. But that’s kind of scary, putting somebody on stage just because they have a good voice. Do they know theologically and spiritually what they’re saying and why they’re doing it?
Democracy means that people can say what they want to. All the people. It means that they can vote as they wish. All the people. It means that they can worship God in any way they feel right, and that includes Christians and Jews and voodoo doctors as well.
