UECF.NET study companion — original commentary, not the book's own text.
The final chapter presses the book's central conviction into everyday life. Sunday worship that does not shape Monday's choices, Tozer suggests, has missed something essential — worship was never meant to be confined to an hour or a building. He closes with a vision of worship as a way of living moment by moment, whatever the setting: a mind kept as a sanctuary, a life offered continually rather than in scheduled instalments.
Citing Spurgeon's conviction that a Spirit-filled heart can find God in silence or in storm, Tozer ends where he began — with a simple, continual invitation: become, and keep becoming, a worshiper.
Key points
- True worship does not stay behind in the sanctuary; it travels into the workweek (Colossians 3:17).
- The mind itself can become a sanctuary where God dwells, shaping worship even outside formal settings.
- Preparation for worship sometimes requires setting aside whatever competes with wholehearted devotion.
- Worship that flows “moment by moment” is available in both quiet seasons and storms of life, because it depends on God's presence, not on circumstances.
Scripture (read on NKJV)
- Romans 12:1–2 — "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
- Colossians 3:17 — "Whatever you do... do all in the name of the Lord Jesus."
- 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 — "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks."
Reflect
- What is one concrete way your Sunday worship could shape a specific Monday decision this week?
- What competes with wholehearted worship in your daily thought-life, and what would it mean to set it aside, in Tozer's words?
- Can you recall a time you found God “in the storm” as much as in the silence? What sustained your worship then?
Prayer
Lord, let our worship not end when we leave this place. Make every day, every task, every ordinary moment, an offering to You. Whether in calm or in storm, keep us as Your worshipers. Amen.
