I believe that Yancey -- and so many others who have written on the same ideas -- are right on target. Too many people critique worship based on how it touches them and not on how it glorifies God and how God can them through it. We need to understand that Worship should not be about us -- but about God. Mary — Thanks for reading — and commenting — on my blog.

Do you agree with these statements, or do you think Philip Yancey has lost sight of the purpose of worship?
