Self-centered worship

"We’ve made worship self-centered--instead of God-centered; We lobby for what we want, with statements like: ‘I didn’t like the songs’, or ‘I didn’t like the sermon’. It’s as if we’re worshipping 'worship' instead of worshipping God."

Geoff Bullock, "Beyond Self-Centered Worship"

(quoted by Bob Burroughs, Monday Morning E-mail, February 2007)

Blogger's note: Though both spellings are correct (according to the dictionary), I have always personally preferred the suffix-added "worship" with the single final consonant rather than the double. Bullock (or his editor) obviously prefers the double. My thoughts on this quote may be found at www.momosmusings.blogspot.com.
