“We recently cut 83 percent of our worship budget. We did this not only to free 
up resources for urgent needs around the world but also to scale back our emphasis
on nonessential elements of corporate worship.

We want to focus on ways we can cultivate the best people: a people who love to 
pray together, fast together, confess sin together, sing together, and study together;
a people who depend more on the Word that is spoken than on the one who speaks it;
a people who are gripped in music more by the content of the song than by the appeal
of the singer; and a people who define worship less by the quality of a slick performance
and more by the commitment of a humble people who gather week after week simply 
to behold the glory of God as they surrender their lives to Him.”
