“This perfect, eternal, Holy exchangeIs worship that satisfies both heaven and earth:”

“Worshiping in the beauty of holiness is an invitation to be participants in the holiness of God, not perfecters of it.”

“He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture. One day he will dismantle both and make a new heaven and earth. He is not to be identified even with the 'divine spark' in man. He is 'God and not man.”

“Who with repentance is not satisfied, is not of heaven, nor earth.”

“God created us to be worshipers because it is right that he be known, loved and worshiped. This isn't because he is needy and wishes someone would tell him how special he is. No, it's because he is perfect and the worship of his perfection is holiness in action.”

“There's a capacity for appetite... that a whole heaven and earth of cake can't satisfy”
