There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting.
Worship is a posture of life that takes as its primary purpose the understanding of what it really means to love and revere God.

Our intellect is not intended to be an end in itself, but only a means to the very mind of God.
