Worship is the Gospel in motion. Worship celebrates the victory of Christ over the powers of evil. This is the first and most fundamental principle of worship. It declares what worship really is and helps us to focus on the most essential action of what we are called by God to do in worship.
-Robert Webber, Worship Is a Verb: Celebrating God’s Mighty Deeds of Salvation, Second Edition (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 1996), 38-39.
