A key reason that we gather to worship

"The world is constantly telling us lies: 'God doesn't exist.'  'It's all about you.'  'Sin has no consequences.'  'This is all there is.'  'The more you own, the happier you'll be.'

"In the face of these lies, we gather as the church to proclaim the truth.  We gather to declare -- to ourselves, to each other, and to God -- what we know to be eternal reality.  There is one God, who is sovereign over the universe and every detail of our lives.  We have rebelled against him.  He sent his Son to die in our place for our sins.  And through Jesus Christ we have forgiveness and peace with God."

-- Bob Kauflin, "Worship Matters" (Crossway), p. 134
