Worship

“The Jews did not spare any cost in their idolatrous worship. No, they ‘cause their sons and daughters to pass through the fire to Molech’ (Jer. 32:35). They were so zealous in their idol worship that they would sacrifice their sons and daughters to their false gods. How far the purblind heathen went in their false zeal! When the tribunes of Rome complained that they wanted gold in their treasuries to offer to Apollo, the Roman matrons plucked off their chains of gold and rings and bracelets and gave them to the priests to offer up sacrifice. Were these so zealous in their sinful worship, and will you not be zealous in the worship of the true God? “ The Godly Man’s Picture ” pgs. 117-118”

“Praise Him.... Whoso offereth praise glorifies me (Psa 50:23) Though nothing can add the least mite to God's essential glory, yet praise exalts Him in the eyes of others. Praise is a setting forth of God's honor, a lifting up of His name, a proclaiming of His excellent goodness, a release of the sweet perfume of God's name which is sent abroad into the world. “ The Godly Man’s Picture ””

“There are three things in the gospel which are as the essentially constitutive parts of it: the mystery of its doctrine, which is the object of faith; the holiness of its precepts, which are the matter of our obedience; and the purity of its institutions of worship, which is the trial of our faith and obedience.”

“No unholy person hath any ground to expect the least advantage by the gospel, here or hereafter.”

“His being is such a being, that he alone is, and all besides are nonentities, and no beings in comparison of him.”

“Those stars vanish and disappear, when once the Sun of righteousness arises.”

“Rightly to fear the Lord is a sign of a gracious heart.”

“The whole of our service to God, and every part thereof, ought to be done by us with reverence and godly fear.”
