“Nothing
makes God more supreme and more central in worship than when people are utterly
persuaded that nothing – not money or prestige or leisure or family or job or
health or sports or toys or friends – nothing is going to bring satisfaction to
their sinful, guilty, aching hearts besides God. This conviction breeds a
people who go hard after God on Sunday morning. They are not confused about why
they are in a worship service. They do not view songs and prayers and sermons
as mere traditions or mere duties. They see them as means of getting to God or
God getting to them for more of his fullness – no matter how painful that may
be for sinners in the short run.” ~John Piper in God’s Passion for
His Glory
