“The incipient magician will confess his faith to a universal religion. He will find out that every religion has good points as well as bad ones. He will therefore keep the best of it for himself and ignore the weak points, which does not necessarily mean that he must profess a religion, but he shall express awe to each for of worship, for each religion has its proper principle of God, whether the point in question be Christianity, Buddhism, Islam or any other kind of religion.” WellsKindMeanDoeChristianityPrinciplesMagicBuddhismWorshipWeakUniversalIslamAweMysticismMagicianWeak Points Author:Franz Bardon
“The great barrier to worship among God's people is not that we are always seeking our own satisfaction, but that our seeking is so weak and half-hearted that we settle for little sips at broken cisterns when the fountain of life is just over the next hill.” PeopleLittlesLife IsNextHalfBrokenWorshipWeakSatisfactionSeekingHillsSettlingBarriersFountainHeartedHalf Hearted Author:John Piper
“I secretly hate worship music, as it's it weak and predictable, with lyrics designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator - not the greatest art ever created by mankind, as I think true worship should attempt to be. Very talented people make some very bad songs so that people with a fourth grade reading level can sing along.” PeopleThinkingArtHateSongReadingCommonMankindWorshipWeakLowestPredictable Author:Reese Roper
“It never occurred to him to be spiritually won over to the enemy. Many moderns, inured to a weak worship of intellect and force, might have wavered in their allegiance under this oppression of a great personality. . . .

“Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness and pride of power and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear rather than too much. Christendom adjusts itself far too easily to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now. Christian should take a stronger stand in favor of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong.” WorldGivingShouldFirstsLittlesChristianFallStrongPeaceChristianityClearToo MuchViolencePrideWorshipWeakStrongerFavorsRevolutionaryShockProtestConsideringOffenseChristendomAgainst Violence Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“This is the gist of all worship: to be pure and to do good to others. He who sees Shiva in the poor, in the weak, and in the diseased, really worships Shiva. And if he sees Shiva only in the image, his worship is but preliminary. He who has served and helped one poor man seeing Shiva in him, without thinking of his caste or creed or race or anything, with him Shiva is more pleased than with the man who sees Him only in temples” IfsThinkingMenPoorRaceSeeingHe ManPureWorshipWeakTemplesCreedsPoor ManCastesDiseasedShivaGist Book:Lectures from Colombo to Almora Source: Lectures from Colombo to Almora
