I have never said that we worship because we feel like it. Feelings are great liars. If Christians worshiped only when they felt like it, there would be precious little worship. Feelings are important in many areas but completely unreliable in matters of faith. … Worship is an act that develops feelings for God, not a feeling for God that is expressed in an act of worship.
