"...we are to be lights in the world. It is God's business to light us, to set us on the lampstand, and to bring the people into the house. Our only duty is to shine forth with the gospel."

-Marva J. Dawn, Reaching Out Without Dumbing Down: A Theology of Worship for This Urgent Time

But worship also offers forgiveness, healing, transformation, motivation, and courage to work in the world for God's justice and peace - in short, salvation in its largest sense."
