“Separation of church and state' meant freedom to worship, not freedom from worship.”

“To be worshiped is not freedom.”

“If there is no laughter, Jesus has gone somewhere else. If there is no joy and freedom, it is not a church: it is simply a crowd of melancholy people basking in a religious neurosis. If there is no celebration, there is no real worship.”

“The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved it — moved to tears and moved to laughter — moved by who God is and what he has done for you.”

“I am a lover of truth, a worshiper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.”

“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.”
