Worship is the supreme and only indispensable activity of the Christian Church. It alone will endure, like the love for God which it expresses, into heaven, when all other activities of the Church will have passed away. It must therefore, even more strictly than any of the less essential doings of the Church, come under the criticism and control of the revelation on which the Church is founded.

W. Nicholls, quoted in Engaging With God: A Biblical Theology of Worship by David Peterson
When Jesus sent two disciples to fetch a donkeys colt on Palm Sunday, they had no other task in the whole world more important than fetching it. If someone had said to them, You are called to greater things; anyone can fetch a donkey, and they had not done it, they would have been disobedient. But there was nothing greater for them at that moment than to fetch the donkey for Christ. For myself and for each individual, I wish that we might do every task, great or small, in this obedience. There is nothing greater than obedience to Christ.
