• For worship is, essentially, the reverse of sin. Sin began (and begins) when we succumb to the temptation, "You shall be as gods." We make ourselves the center of the universe and dethrone God.

Instead of merely thinking about Him, we tell Him, in prayer and praise and song, how great and glorious we believe Him to be!
