Amanda Miller
All of the five pastors feel it was a great success and the enthusiasm of the crowd was a surprise. We didn't know what to expect but they were happy to be there together worshiping.
Rick Hufton
God is not a specific religion. God is God. We choose different ways to meet together, worship him, follow him.
Scott Hubbard
When we started, I guess it came down to the fact that our connections were there, our heart was in the church, and our music is very different from the typical church band. It's not praise and worship music.
Annie Wolaver
At a non-denominational event, there should be a recognition that different religions worship differently and believe differently. And the assumption that everyone benefits from being under the spirit of Jesus really runs counter to this concept of diversity.
Shmuel Goldin
It's irresponsible for the top elected official in any state to suggest blanket wiretapping of houses of worship.
Ibrahim Hooper
Overvalue not therefore the manner of your own worship, and overvilify not other men's of a different mode.
Richard Baxter
I thought he'd appreciate that. Whenever Tom led our morning worship service, he'd often just sit in silence. I have to admit, I always liked when Tom led service because it meant I could fall asleep. But hey, sometimes he fell asleep too.
Greg Rollins
The need was there. There was a common goal, preserve and promote the values, ideals, culture and philosophy of Hinduism. The decision was easy. It was decided to build a Hindu place of worship.
Giridhara Gopal
We worship differently, we have different polity to guide how we do the work of church. But the one thing believers can agree on is the resurrection of Jesus Christ and so we're rallying around the one thing we can agree on and that is the central teaching of our faith.
Rev. Winford Hendrix
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.
Ralph W. Sockman
You'd see him walking around with his music going. He'd either be listening to Rush Limbaugh or to worship music. If it was his music, he'd be singing along. He liked to sing a lot. He had a great voice. He signed up for the race, but wasn't able to do much with it. He was awfully busy with substituting (teaching) at West High.
Sandy Farmer
Worship here is very joyful. Our reputation is that of a very friendly, welcoming community.
Mary Foley
It's just a time for senior adults to come together and enjoy worship, fellowship, fun and food. We try to make it fun as well as inspirational. I think it's a good time for them to have fun, be encouraged and see people they don't see normally.
Judy Felkins
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.
James Houston
We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up. It was hard for me to believe that God thought much of a man who tried to wangle salvation by fulsome flattery. I should have thought the worship most pleasing to him was to do your best according to your lights.
W. Somerset Maugham
With this ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow.
Book of Common Prayer
Generally you think that all musicians are hardcore rockers or party-going lunatics, but that's not always the case, ... Nathan is a youth worship leader and a wonderful person.
Ray Thompson

Billy Wilder
We do not worship Ron, ... He was just a man.
Susan Taylor
[Then again, Christianity seems to have done quite well by mixing worship and commerce.] Religion is like yeast in dough, ... It's in every part of life, so for it to show up everywhere is only natural - in commerce, politics, sports, labor unions and so on and so forth.
Michael Novak
A god whose creation is so imperfect that he must be continually adjusting it to make it work properly seems to me a god of relatively low order, hardly worthy of any worship.
Martin Gardner
It's a time the family should be together, and get together and spend time. Worship God, and just be a family.
Jackie Evans
It brings you really close and it makes the worship time more intimate. You have cameras making the image larger than life.
Larry Vinyard
Christmas is a time when people of all religions come together to worship Jesus Christ.
Bart Simpson
Part of the function of icons is for private devotional purposes. Early in the church's history, icons made it easier for worshipers to understand biblical themes and stories, as they could not read. Icons also create an atmosphere that enhances the worship and act as constant reminders of the divine.
Justin Johnson
Jackie and Bob had a lot of sweet peas growing in their yard, and before they left they made sure there were sweet peas on the worship table.

All civil states, with their officers of justice, in their respective constitutions and administrations, are proved essentially civil, and therefore not judges, governors, or defenders of the spiritual, or Christian, state and worship.
Roger Williams
MAMMON, n. The god of the world's leading religion. The chief temple is in the holy city of New York. He swore that all other religions were gammon, And wore out his knees in the worship of Mammon. Jared Oopf.
Ambrose Bierce
Passion recordings exist to glorify God, uniting students in worship and prayer for spiritual awakening in this generation. The hope is that with Passion: Everything Glorious students will continue to be encouraged by the messages of Passion 06 and use these messages to motivate change on their campuses and in their communities.
Louie Giglio
It makes me extremely mad. This is just a building, but it's the building where you come to worship God and it should be respected.
Cindy Jolley
Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace.
Charles Sumner
The church, in general, knows generally what's going on with the money. You're trying to make this a voting situation every Sunday instead of coming here to worship God.
Jim Parkman
If we do not need to worship God six days in the week why do we need to worship him on the seventh?
Lemuel K. Washburn
This exciting event will include a time of praise and worship, as well as an opportunity for Christians, in a classroom setting, to learn better how to share their faith with others.
Ronnie White
Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.
William G. Golding
We do drama, we do lots of videos, high-energy media kinds of entertainment things for them, but the main thing is the worship and Bible teaching ... with (speaker) Jeff Kinley.
Brad Watson
The act of divine worship is the inestimable privilege of man, the only created being who bows in humility and adoration.
Hosea Ballou
People under 60, raised on television, they remember by what they see. The churches that are using a great deal of the arts in their worship and drama and visual film are doing it in part because they realize film and television are really the language of today.
Doug Adams
Scripture nowhere divides worship up into a series of independent 'elements', each requiring independent scriptural justification. Scripture nowhere tells us that the regulative principle demands that particular level of specificity, rather than some other.
John Frame
It's a very cohesive group to tour with. Expect moments of fun and moments of worship as well.
Will Mcginniss
BACCHUS, n. A convenient deity invented by the ancients as an excuse for getting drunk. Is public worship, then, a sin, That for devotions paid to Bacchus The lictors dare to run us in, And resolutely thump and whack us? Jorace.
Ambrose Bierce
It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God--but to create him.
Arthur C. Clarke
She interpreted the dog's paws as human hands, which spelt out Praise and Worship in Signs.
Tameko Smith
Lent is a time of prayer, but not for gloomy faces. Some people choose to give things up, but that's a matter of personal piety. Many parishioners choose to add something, like prayer or extra worship services, or take on a cause.
Diane Archer
Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat.
John Viscount Morley
The best thing you can see as a worship leader is people getting involved and acting spontaneously.
Aaron Pipkin
Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.
Daniel J. Boorstin
I feel our church family has been open and willing to change because they feel worship is more than about opinion. It's about the heart. It can be an emotional thing, but we want to go beyond the emotions to a spiritual experience that draws you closer to God.
Craig Castleberry
It's a time where kids can showcase their talents and feel free to worship however they want to. A lot of times in morning worship services they are limited to what they can do.
Marcus Mann
Special attention will be paid to places of worship, our churches and our schools.
Morris Iemma
What we like to do is take the golfer's game to a higher level and let them take their lives to a higher level by living in his grip. Jesus told his disciples to go out and make disciples of others. We know that if we wait for golfers to come into (a place of worship), we may never see them. We feel it's important to go to golfers where they are at.
Scott Lehman
Americans of all faiths should be concerned whenever a house of worship is threatened.
Hussam Ayloush
When I think of a place of worship, I think of a place where one can sit and be reminded of all the things that are important outside our individual lives. To express spirituality, the architect has to think of the original material of architecture, space and light.
Richard Meier
There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven.
Robert Green Ingersoll
It's so open, warm, and loving, like a big family. We get together and worship together and enjoy each other.
Marjorie Mcdonald
HEATHEN, n. A benighted creature who has the folly to worship something that he can see and feel. According to Professor Howison, of the California State University, Hebrews are heathens. 'The Hebrews are heathens!' says Howison. He's A Christian philosopher. I'm A scurril agnostical chap, if you please, Addicted too much to the crime Of religious discussion in my .
Ambrose Bierce
These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.
Anthony De Mello
People may be worshiping in a group of 5000 or 10,000.
Doug Adams
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.
John Frame
WORSHIP, n. Homo Creator's testimony to the sound construction and fine finish of Deus Creatus. A popular form of abjection, having an element of pride.
Ambrose Bierce
Small groups provide a setting where group members can develop relationships and enjoy fellowship that many times is not available in the larger worship setting, ... close friendships will be built over time in small groups.
Thom Rainer
We all claim to worship the same God, so why don't we fellowship together? ... The only thing that keeps us from fellowshiping together are the church buildings, the organizations.
Donnie Mcclurkin
I worship impersonal Nature, which is neither "good" or "bad", and who knows neither love nor hatred.
Savitri Devi
People who go to places of worship, people who go to libraries, people who are in chat rooms, are going to have 'Big Brother' listening in even though there's no evidence that they are involved in anything illegal whatsoever.
Laura Murphy
EXCESS, n. In morals, an indulgence that enforces by appropriate penalties the law of moderation. Hail, high Excess -- especially in wine, To thee in worship do I bend the knee Who preach abstemiousness unto me -- My skull thy pulpit, as my paunch thy shrine. Precept on precept, aye, and line on line, Could ne'er persuade so sweetly to agree With reason .
Ambrose Bierce
We should worship lord Shiva so that we are freed from our worldly attachments just like a fruit falls from a tree after ripening. Once we are successful in doing this we are liberated from this vicious cycles of life and death.
Yajur Veda
The vulgar think the God by analogy to man and so worship Him in the form of the Gods. The learned think the God by analogy to principles and so worship Him in the form of Love or Truth. But the wise think the God not at all. They know that thought, which is finite, can only do violence to the God, which is infinite.It is enough, they say, that the God thinks them.
R. Scott Bakker
What is dangerous is not minarets, but basements and garages that hide clandestine places of worship. Thus we must choose between mosques, where we know that the rules of the republic are respected, and secret places where extremism has been developing for too long.
Nicolas Sarkozy
[Of course, sometimes when you go behind the scenes like this all you get is another scene: a carefully composed snapshot, not of what an athlete is like off the field, but of what he wants you to think he's like off the field. I'm sure, by now, most fans realize this and recognize the dangers of hero worship.] Idolatry is really not good for anyone, ... Not even the idols.
John Bach
We have a good number of long-term members, as well as some newer members, which makes for a nice mix. We're famous for our choir - we have a fabulous choir director. And I think many people continue to enjoy our traditional style of worship service.
Jeffrey Miller
Fires at houses of worship continue. Arrests continue to be made. And defendants continue to be prosecuted and convicted.
James Johnson
Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age.
Clive Bell
It is quite unlawful to demand, defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing or worship, as if these were so many rights given by nature to man.
Pope Leo Xiii
The most segregated hour is the hour of worship. The civil rights movement came out of the church. I believe that God is trying to get all of his children at one table.
Alfonzo Surrett
Enforced uniformity confounds civil and religious liberty and denies the principles of Christianity and civility. No man shall be required to worship or maintain a worship against his will.
Roger Williams
Thou shalt not merge religion and government. Promoting religion is the job of houses of worship, not government. Our legal system especially must avoid even the appearance of bias on the basis of religion.
Barry Lynn
Democracy: The worship of jackals by jackasses.
H. L. Mencken
My greatest love is doing worship music.
David Yackley
He had one uniform practice, and a very bad one it was, during the time of family worship, and just three or four seconds before the conclusion of the prayer, he started to his feet, and ran barking round the apartment like a crazed beast.
James Hogg
The battle fronts are the Supreme Court, the presidency, the Senate, the House, all the state legislatures, ... That's where most people think these battles are being won. To me, they're forgetting where the battle should be won: houses of worship. That's where indoctrination should take place, not in the halls of Congress.
Derek Davis
I think it's just a vision for our church and wanting to reach a broader range of people. We're just wanting to reach all ages and contemporary worship can do that, if it's done right. People like it.
Craig Castleberry
I enjoyed my time there. Watching them worship and pray and living in a crime-free place is truly a humbling experience.
Pan Howell
It's like being part of an extended family. My own personal relationship with God and Christ has improved. Now that I'm a member of the church, (my faith) has taken on shape. I can phrase it in words and think of it in concrete terms. Weekly worship reinforces that.
Jon Templin
MedOne is part of the Roman Catholic identity of St. Joseph Hospital, so when you speak about a church, you can define it in many ways, ... A church can be a building, and it can also be an organization of ministries that provide for the spiritual well-being of people ... for me the whole sense of 'church' is much broader than the four walls in which you go to worship.
Catherine Kelly
For the federal government, combating attacks on America's houses of worship will remain a permanent priority.
Bill Lann Lee
We completely respect people's right to worship. However, we are very concerned that the church hierarchy has made taking away marriage equality _ and replacing it with nothing else _ such a high priority.
Marc Solomon
The Scriptures Set down efficient laws for the worship of God and government of church which no man may add to or diminish.
John Greenwood
There was little physical damage to the building, but there was clear psychological damage, ... In this country, we can't be afraid in our places of worship. That's just not acceptable.
Barry Cohen
There is a kind of thinking in the Church that wants to reduce the priest to a mere functionary, a managing director, where administration rather than doctrine and worship are to determine the form of the Church.
Arthur Middleton
The rabbi or any other citizen of the United States should not have to pay money, fill out an application or get permission to assemble peacefully, speak freely, and worship God in their own homes.
John Stemberger
Mark told me worship is very important because it helps the students learn how to pray.
Juan Devevo
Worship your heroes from afar; contact withers them.
Susanne Curchod Necker
Fires may have scorched the structures but they did not sear the spirit of the communities in which these houses of worship are located.
Bill Lann Lee
Hurricane Katrina, the Mother Earthers say, is the result of the failed environmental policies of the Bush administration. This disaster is because the United States has not agreed to abide by the Kyoto Treaty protocols. According to those who worship the spinning dirt at the altar of Kyoto, their god, the environment, has exacted justice through Hurricane Katrina.
Scott Thomas
It is well to respect the leader. Learn from him. Observe him. Study him. But don't worship him. Believe you can surpass. Believe you can go beyond. Those who harbor the second-best attitude are invariably second-best doers.
David Joseph Schwartz
BATH, n. A kind of mystic ceremony substituted for religious worship, with what spiritual efficacy has not been determined. The man who taketh a steam bath He loseth all the skin he hath, And, for he's boiled a brilliant red, Thinketh to cleanliness he's wed, Forgetting that his lungs he's soiling With dirty vapors of the boiling. Richard Gwow.
Ambrose Bierce
Our former worship center was built in just 90 days. This new building may have taken a little longer, but I have to say it was icing on the cake to dedicate the new building last Sunday.
Joe Roberts
Women lead worship, women teach, women baptize, women serve Communion, women get paid to be in ministry. We have hundreds of women from SPU who are leaders in our church.
Mark Driscoll
That's been the coolest thing about all this - I get to meet people that I worship!
Norah Jones
Worship comes first of course, but this (the World Cup) comes round only every four years so we can afford to be flexible.
George Carey
The basic operation of the current building will be for our worship and Christian education. The other phases will include a sports facility, more family ministry areas and other things on the 7.5 acres we have.
Pastor Amos Dodge
The lover is a monotheist who knows that other people worship different gods but cannot himself imagine that there could be other gods.
Theodor Reik
And now he can't wait to play music for us. He's 95 and in relatively great shape. He loves playing music and plays it just from his head on the keyboard. He's the guy we worship.
Donald Scanlon
We are going for a more realistic look. The point here is that we're creating a children's worship room that is representative of their neighborhood. The intent is that worship of God is not just limited to a church building. Worship should take place everywhere, every day -- at a power plant, in a warehouse.
Stephen Arnold
That's really important, if you have kids in different schools, going to different neighborhoods, and going to different after school activities. We believe safety is knowing who lives in your neighborhood, near your home, near your place of worship, near the school, day care centers.
Alec Rosen
NewSong is an opportunity to expand the number of worship languages spoken in our church family. We want to reach out to people for whom a more traditional worship style seems like an alien tongue.
Howard Clark
Some say the church experience has lots of flash and very little depth, or in other words, a mile wide and an inch deep. But many (large churches) have small groups, and that's the key. You can't preach to a crowd of 1,400. The worship becomes a performance and the crowd sits there, very few people are active.
Albert Miller
We are drawing plans to arrange adequate security at other famous temples, especially on auspicious days when more devotees throng the places of worship.
Navneet Sikera
There are over 60,000 Hindus in Russia. In Moscow alone, there are thousands of Hindus of Indian and Russian origin (well over 10,000). However, this peaceful community is being denied a simple right to have a place of worship where they can pray, counsel and celebrate their faith.
Ramesh Kallidai
We love the Lord with all our heart. I know this is a fund-raiser, but we can worship also.
Jeff Whisnant
I worship you so that it seems almost desecration to touch you.
Teddy Roosevelt
Joel Brown will be the featured singer, and the night will include worship and praise.
Joe Moreno
Americans of all faiths should be concerned whenever a house of worship is threatened. Religious and political leaders must speak out against the anti-Muslim bigotry that can prompt such threats.
Hussam Ayloush
We don't want the temple to be only a place of worship, we want it to be a cultural, spiritual and educational center as well.
Rao Chalasani
The main goal was to prevent the worship of Mohammed as a deity instead of God. The idea is when you visit a mosque, you don't see pictures or paintings of people because that would distract you from prayer.
Vincent Biondo
You have a group of people in there who are possibly responsible for terrorist activities, according to the Israeli side, ... and at the same time you have many innocent civilians and religious people in there, and they're all mixed up together in a place which is designed for worship and not for living.
Andrew White
The bottom line is he is allowed to worship in any Catholic church. Any Catholic is welcome.
Sean Nolan
I do think there is a conservative gloss on American culture at this point in time, and you are in a red state. The conservative plant churches are adopting contemporary worship forms that resonate with people, as opposed to 250-year-old buildings and 150-year-old hymn books.
Scott Thumma
(Chaplains will) hold Bible studies and worship services (if they are a Christian chaplains). They have a responsibility of making sure every person has an opportunity to exercise their faith.
Mack Griffith
We'll have free pizza, pop, dessert and a concert of worship music in a fun environment. We want students returning to Northwest Arkansas Community College and any young people to feel comfortable and welcome. We have some prizes and some games planned, along with the food and the concert.
Joe Moreno
I do not consider violent protest is in any way appropriate before or after attendance at the worship of Almighty God.
Robin Eames
There are fortunes being made by turning fans into victims and all it starts by creating that frenzy known as celebrity worship.
Abby Aronowitz
For people who cannot get to church for various reasons, this is a great option. But it will always be a poor substitute for joining the faith community in person. Surely, the church experience is about more than a message. We are always better off together than flying solo. Godcasting is a supplement, not a substitute for weekly worship.
Craig Detweiler
The Senate is the last primitive society in the world. We still worship the elders of the tribe and honor the territorial imperative.
Eugene J. Mccarthy
There are some that like the very dark worship experience, and that's what this was, and we certainly respect that. But certainly this is the more attractive look for the building, from all accounts.
Mark Potter
Ecological devastation is the excrement, so to speak, of man's power worship.
Ernest Becker
Gracious Bacchus! Accept this empty jar! You will know best, what in pious worship of thee became of all the first.
Eratosthenes
Hugh Grant and I both laugh and cringe at the same things, worship the same books, eat the same food, hate central heating and sleep with the window open. I thought these things were vital, but being two peas in a pod ended up not being enough.
Elizabeth Hurley
The facts: nothing matters but the facts: worship of the facts leads to everything, to happiness first of all and then to wealth.
