Worship: Ascribing the Ultimate Value
Quoted at Chip Stam’s Worship Quote of the Week:
How do we face troubles with peace, rest, and equilibrium? The ultimate way to handle the troubles of life is not just through prayers of petition, but through worship. ... Worship is the act of ascribing ultimate value to something in such a way that it engages the entire being: mind, will, and emotions.
— Timothy J. Keller (Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City), from a sermon on Psalm 95 and “biblical worship,” July 7, 2002. The tape ministry of Redeemer Presbyterian has kindly granted permission to put this audio sermon on my Institute for Christian Worship web site. To listen, go to http://www.sbts.edu/icw, and then click on “other resources” at the bottom of the page. You’ll find it.
