1. If you want to benefit from [worship], I suggest that you allow yourself to be loved...as you are, and not as you should be. Christianity does not exist in what we do for God, but what God does for us. It always starts with what God does for us. All He asks is that you be astonished at the fact that He bothered at all.
2. [Worship is] primarily listening. Like the Psalm says, "Be still and know that I am God." "And Know," is the experience. Do you allow a minimum of 12 minutes to reflect on the content of the sermon just given? We ignore silence and solitude, getting so caught up in the ministry, that the wild passionate love affair with Jesus, that is so life-giving, is conspicuously absent.
3. [Again,] self-hatred is the biggest obstacle [to worship] that I've run into in all of my years of ministry and that comes from a caricature, a distorted image of God. When was the last time you let yourself be loved for who you are, and not for who you should be?
