Cline Avenue Fellowship - William Temple on Worship

Thursday, 20 November 2008

William Temple, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1942-1944, said this of worship:

"Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose--and all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin."

How's your worship?

"Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!"
Psalm 95:1-2
