WORSHIP:
AWE; WORSHIP: REVERENCE

I’ve heard all kinds of preachers. I’ve heard the ignorant boaster; I’ve heard the dull, dry ones; I’ve heard the eloquent ones; but the ones that have helped me most were the ones that were awestruck in the presence of the God about whom they spoke. They might have a sense of humor, they might be jovial; but when they talked about God another tone came into their voice altogether; this was something else, something wonderful. I believe we ought to have again the old Biblical concept of God which makes God awful and makes men lie face down and cry, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.” That would do more for the church than everything or anything else.

Psalm 72:18–19; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 1:17
