Loving God is not, in its essence, love for his gifts – gifts like forgiveness, justification, escape from hell, resurrection to a pain-free life, etc. Indeed if we love God, we will cherish these gifts and be thankful for them, because we would not have God without them. But loving God is treasuring God himself revealed in his gifts and treasuring God himself beyond his gifts

True worship is not about energitic bands or sentimental songs nor is it a loud cry of praise. But rather a genuine response to the Word of God that comes when His Word is rightfully preach without reservation and pampering.
