If somebody postulates the existence of more than one god, I would have to say we don’t worship the same god. If somebody says that God is basically one with the world, I would also have to say we don’t worship the same god.
I think worship is a lifestyle, first of all.
One of the ideas that I wanted to highlight, which is actually a very bipartisan idea – it’s not just about conservatives – is this worship of wealth, the CEO saviour.
I then wrought at my trade as a tailor; carefully attended meetings for worship and discipline; and found an enlargement of gospel love in my mind, and therein a concern to visit Friends in some of the back settlements of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
I choose to worship not believing in God and government should not thrust a religious idea down my throat.
It is reasonable to think that the more readers put into the Bible app in the form of small investments, the more it becomes a repository of their history of worship. Like a worn dog-eared book, full of scribbled insights and wisdom, the app becomes a treasured asset not easily discarded.
I do not bow. I do not obey. I do not ‘worship.’
Our country’s political discourse and debate are enriched by discussions of the political implications of our faith traditions, whether they are taking place in our communities, at our dinner tables, or in our places of worship.
I listen to a lot of old-school worship music.
Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses.
Man, so long as he remains free, has no more constant and agonizing anxiety than find as quickly as possible someone to worship.
What you believe in the privacy of your thoughts and what you do in the privacy of your home or house of worship is your business. What you do in the public realm is our collective business.
What I find is that we’re all human beings and that it’s all very similar, what we believe. At the bottom, there’s really not that much difference between Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists. We all worship God.
To allow the construction of places of worship other than Islamic ones in Saudi Arabia, it would be like asking the Vatican to build a mosque inside of it.
Human beings were put on the planet to depend upon their Creator and to worship their Creator at every point in every sphere of culture.
So much has been said about Michael Jordan as a basketball player, but when I played with him, the Michael I knew was just Michael. I guess more than anything is that I got to experience the human side of the so-called gladiators, warriors and heroes that we worship.
I grew up on the North Shore of Chicago, and I don’t think I had a friend that wasn’t Jewish. I spent more time in a temple than any other house of worship. I’ve been to about 150 bar and bat mitzvahs.
Writing Christian or worship music is just because I love Jesus, so everything I do is going to be an overflow of that.
Our freedoms are shared freedoms: they are bound up in each other. The ability to confront oppression in the guise of religion is linked to our ability to worship as we choose: both are acts of expression.
The Qur’an, throughout all of its verses, aims mainly to establish and confirm four basic, universal truths: the existence and Oneness of the Maker of the universe; Prophethood; bodily Resurrection; and worship and justice.
It’s hard to escape bullies that come in many shapes and forms. The processed food industry, corrupt religious organizations, and celebrity worship culture are just a few that we deal with in modern times.
I don’t take much notice of reviews now – obviously you’d like to have straight worship but you’re never going to get that.
What the mind doesn’t understand, it worships or fears.
We ogle plants and animals up close on television, the Internet and in the movies. We may not worship the animals we see, but we still regard them as necessary physical and spiritual companions. Technological nature can’t completely satisfy that yearning.
Of all the human figurines discovered so far from 30,000-3,000BC, 92% are of the female form. This is not to say there was any kind of matriarchy or worship of a mother goddess – far from it – but women are conspicuous by their presence.
All of the great music ever written is based upon the Mass. I mean, it’s pretty extraordinary stuff, and I think it’s done the world some good. And if you take a look at some of the mosques in the world, it calls you to worship the kind of beauty that’s in there.
I sing to Jesus for Jesus now. This gives me pure joy… worship!
I’m not a universalist, and the way I talk about final loss is this: People worship idols – money, whatever. Their humanness gets reshaped around the idol – you become like what you worship. That’s one of the basic spiritual laws.
Before my time on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ Halloween was my favorite day of the year since I was a little kid. It’s the day we worship the macabre and live vicariously through the costumes that we wear.
Many find ourselves in this strange consumerist entertainment bubble where celebrities have become the golden cows of our time that we love to worship and destroy.
The lover is a monotheist who knows that other people worship different gods but cannot himself imagine that there could be other gods.
In antiquity, a woman might be an object of worship or desire, but never of love.
The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.
Even the highest forms of sacrificial worship present much that is repulsive to modern ideas, and in particular it requires an effort to reconcile our imagination to the bloody ritual which is prominent in almost every religion which has a strong sense of sin.
Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.
Why did men worship in churches, locking themselves away in the dark, when the world lay beyond its doors in all its real glory?
The fact that 35 percent of all American giving went to religious organizations in 2010 reflects how closely bound many of us are with our place of worship.
Gospel music to me has always been a balm for the soul. It has been able to usher in the spirit, usher in worship, true worship and praise, healing. I find the music to be very good at healing and the passion, you know, which is a testimony being told in song.
As a worship leader, I feel this sort of responsibility to help add to the soundtrack of people’s day.
The life of an artist is always reproving what you can do, and I feel like there is still so much more to do. Because I still enjoy it, and I’m not one of those actors who feels like, ‘Oh, I’ve arrived and you should worship at my altar,’ kind of thing.
I’m not against screens, or new songs, or innovation. I just don’t like the gimmicks. I want to know when worship is over that that leader’s sole purpose was to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the mean time I worship God, laying every wrong action under an interdict which I endeavour to respect, and I loathe the wicked without doing them any injury.
Islam’s basic principles of belief, worship, morality, and behavior are not affected by changing times. Islam does not propose a certain unchangeable form of government or attempt to shape it. Islam has never offered nor established a theocracy in its name.
Parties are continually changing. The men of today give place to the men of tomorrow, and the idols which one set worship, the next destroy.
I say let’s go back to a truer use of the word ‘freedom.’ Let’s start with President Franklin Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today.
We’re commanded by God to worship God with our mind.
No man who worships education has got the best out of education… Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.
People worship anyone in the entertainment industry. You can be a used-car salesman and have a television commercial on the local station, and that makes you a celebrity.
I liken the Queen thing to being in a worship service. Everyone comes having grown up with this music. It’s in their blood, in their souls. Every night, it’s always a huge standing ovation.
The man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise.
More than half of Guatemalans are pureblooded Indians, descendants of the proud Maya-Quiche tribes. In their mist-shrouded villages, the Indians worship the corn god and the rain god, only vaguely concerned with the political entity known as Guatemala.
I may worship the image of the Lord; but that act is worthless if it is not accompanied with devotion. In the absence of devotion, the idol will just be a piece of stone, and so shall I; and the worship will only mean that a stone is facing a stone!
The result has been that although few conservative Presbyterian churches actually worship in the Puritan way, the Puritan theology of worship remains the standard orthodoxy among them. This discrepancy sometimes leads to guilty consciences.
