New worship quote

I heard this quote Sunday morning concerning worship and found it to be quite moving in my thoughts about worship. I've just received it from the one who quoted it, so I've not processed it yet. Look for it to show up again this week or next in my Wednesday musings. For now, let it prompt you to think.

"All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and his Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man.... When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever." John Piper, Let the Nations be Glad
