“Wonder is the basis of worship.”

“...I've discovered why you fascinate - you keep the mystery and as Carlyle noted, Wonder is the basis of worship...”

“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.”

“Sarah: That's not fair!Jareth: You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is?”

“You become like what you worship. When you gaze in awe, admiration, and wonder at something or someone, you begin to take on something of the character of the object of your worship.”

“Although there are things that can be done to enhance corporate worship, there is a profound sense in which excellent worship cannot be attained merely by pursuing excellent worship. In the same way that, according to Jesus, you cannot find yourself until you lose yourself, so also you cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself. Despite the protestations, one sometimes wonders if we are beginning to worship worship rather than worship God. As a brother put it to me, it’s a bit like those who begin by admiring the sunset and soon begin to admire themselves admiring the sunset.”
