“Man is what he eats” was Feuerbach’s aphorism. By feeding on the word of God, the believer is changed according to God’s character.

Scripture should constitute the very content for much of what we say, sing, and pray in worship. When this is the case, Scripture permeates the service from beginning to end. Scripture forms the basis for all of worship.
—Constance Cherry, The Worship Architect, 80
God’s sacred Word . . . is that inestimable treasure that excelleth all the riches of the earth.
—translators of the King James Version, 1611
The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me.
—Martin Luther
I am a creature of a day, passing through life as an arrow through the air. I am a spirit come from God, and returning to God: Just hovering over the great gulf; till, a few moments hence, I am no more seen; I drop into an unchangeable eternity! I want to know one thing—the way to heaven; how to land safe on that happy shore. God himself has condescended to teach the way: For this very end he came from heaven. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! I have it: Here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be homo unius libri. [A man of one book.]
—John Wesley
The Bible is forever a critical prodding presence among us.
—William Willimon, The Bible: A Sustaining Presence in Worship
Everything we do in God’s name expresses a particular understanding of His character and will, whether we acknowledge this or not. We all have an implicit theology of worship, which may or may not be faithful to Scripture.
—David G. Peterson, Encountering God Together, 15
