Worship

Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness; the nourishment of the mind by His truth; the purifying of the imagination by His beauty; the opening of the heart to His love; the surrender of the will to His purpose -- and all of this gathered up in adoration....It is the chief remedy for that self-centeredness that is the source of all sin. Yes, worship is the way to be liberated from sin.
--William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury
