Worship Thoughts

Nothing Regal seeks to provide relevant, inspirational and sensory musical worship experiences that enable people to genuinely connect with God and honor Him by living our their faith in a real-world setting. 

In order to do that, we seek to understand what the Bible tries to teach us about the true nature of worship.  These are a few of the devotional thoughts we've shared as a band to help us keep looking in that direction as our focus.

Going through the  
motions doesn't please you,  
      a flawless performance  
is nothing to you.  
   I learned God-worship  
      when my pride was shattered.  
   Heart-shattered lives ready  
for love don't for a   
moment escape God's notice.
-- Psalm 51:16-17,  
The Message
