The Ultimate Priority
This book is a call to personal worship of the thrice holy God. It is a call to a radically different type of living on the part of the believer; to a way of life that seeks to worship God continually – not just on Sunday. The call is new in the sense that Christians in our time have generally missed God’s emphasis. Reading this book will force you to encounter our God in all His glory. An obedient response will transform you into a true worshiper, fulfilling the ultimate priority.
Top Highlights
“Here is a simple definition of worship: worship is honor and adoration directed to God.” (Page 14)
“A second kind of unacceptable worship is the worship of the true God in a wrong form.” (Page 8)
“A far more subtle kind of false worship than any of the three we have mentioned is the worship of the true God in the right way, with a wrong attitude.” (Page 10)
“In spite of what has been written, the true mark of the Christian is not love. The mark of the Christian is that he truly worships God in the spirit. All virtues flow from that.” (Page 34)
“Worship as the Word of God presents it is internal, sacrificial, active, and productive.” (Page 22)
