CS LEWIS: “The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express that same delight in God which made David dance.”
I praise God because he is GREAT.
Psalm 145:1-7
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: “I may not be the man I want to be; I may not be the man I ought to be; I may not be the man I could be; I may not be the man I truly can be; but praise God, I’m not the man I once was.”
ALICE COOPER: “I was one thing at one time, and I’m something new. I’m a new creature now. Don’t judge Alice by what he used to be. Praise God for what I am now.”
Luke 10:19-20
I praise God because he is GOOD.
Psalm 145:8-16
Psalm 34:8
Thomas Merton: To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.
I praise God because he is GENEROUS.
Psalm 145:17-20
Ephesians 1:7-8

GLENN PEMBERTON: “We live in a world that is beyond our control, and life is in a constant flux of change. So we have a decision to make: keep trying to control a storm that is not going to go away or start learning how to live within the rain.”
EVERTON WEEKES: "Redemption is not just a nice word to use in church. It has the power to restore us back to the status we had with God before the fall. Redemption gives believers the same legal status that Jesus had with the Father, while He was walking on the earth."

AW TOZER: "The greatest encouragement throughout the Bible is God's love for His lost race and the willingness of Christ, the eternal Son, to show forth that love in God's plan of redemption. The love of Jesus is so inclusive that it knows no boundaries. At the point where we stop caring and loving, Jesus is still there loving and caring."

Psalm 124
“The Psalms offer us a way of joining in a chorus of praise and prayer that has been going on for millennia and across all cultures. Not to try to inhabit them, while continuing to invent non-psalmic 'worship' based on our own feelings of the moment, risks being like a spoiled child who, taken to the summit of Table Mountain with the city and the ocean spread out before him, refuses to gaze at the view because he is playing with his Game Boy” -NT Wright

“What I see in the Bible, especially in the book of Psalms, which is a book of gratitude for the created world, is a recognition that all good things on Earth are God's, every good gift is from above. They are good if we recognize where they came from and if we treat them the way the Designer intended them to be treated.” -Philip Yancey
"Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation." -Charles Spurgeon"I have never yet known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord’s people were divided." -D.L. Moody
UNITY IS A WONDERFUL GIFT
Psalm 133:1
Acts 2:42-44
When the Gospel enables us to live in love, even though we may have nothing else in common save Christ, it is a testimony to its power to transform a group of sinful, self-centered people into a loving community united by a common relationship with Jesus Christ.
John 17:20-21
"Divisions in the church always breed atheism in the world." -Thomas Manton (English Clergyman)
