Whatever Happened to Worship?


So lately I've become very influenced by a mid-1900's preacher by the name of A.W. Tozer. Some of you may remember me blogging about a book of his I read a few months ago, The Pursuit of God. Now I've picked up another of his called Whatever Happened to Worship? I've read a few pages and Wow! it's already good.

I think I'm going to post some thoughts on each chapter as I read through it...if you want to read through it with me, pick up a copy at Family Christian Store or through Amazon. Here's a nugget from the book:

"I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven." Whoa! Did he really say that? That's a pretty bold statement...but it's true. Think of every picture we're given of heaven in the Bible. It's either a celebration or it's facedown worship. There's no yawning or rolling eyes. Just hardcore worship of the Triune God - Father, Son, and Spirit.

I can tell this is going to be a fun adventure through Tozer's thoughts on worship...
