Don
Williams on Worship as Our Destiny 
Part of the series: Words to Weigh 
Posted for February, 15, 2007
"Kingdom life begins
in worship and ends in worship. Our destiny is to become eternal
worshipers of the Triune God. When many hear this, they are
turned off. They say, "I don't want to play a harp, sit
on a cloud, or sing in a choir forever." They simply project
their bad church experiences into their eternal future. But,
as we have seen, worship, at its heart, is submission and surrender
to the living God. It confesses, "Jesus Christ, is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father" (Phil 2:11). True
worshipers pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven." But one day this petition
will turn to praise: "Your kingdom has come.
Your will is done, right here, right now, on our transformed
earth, throughout our transformed universe, as well as in the
highest heaven." (p. 230)

Rick
Warren on Preaching and on the Church's Choice
Part of the series: Words to Weigh

"When you're preaching and
teaching the good news, you walk a very fine line where you're
taking the world of the Bible and the world of today, and you're
building a bridge between those [worlds]," he explained. "Now,
it's easy to be biblical if you don't care about being relevant.
. . . And it's easy to be relevant if you don't care about being
biblical. I happen to want to be both."
"Every church has to make
the decision. . . . Is it going to live for itself, or is it
going to live for the world that Jesus died for?"
Rick Warren
