Emotions in life of a believer and worship

There was a blog post today at ccwblog.org entitled "The Elderly Mr. Phipp." The blog is mainly about emotions and their role in the life of a believer and worship. If you want to read the whole blog, click here. If not, this one paragraph is worth your time:

Emotions are the result of true spirituality and not the cause of it. To worship God is to fix your gaze on Him. Our emotions rise from that fixed gaze and may justifiably be as lofty as the truth we comprehend. Unthinking emotions and self-induced emotionalism are not legitimate as worship. In this gaze, believers are seeing the greatest good and the most perfect Being. This moves them, for there is nothing higher to comprehend. Indeed, to see something of Him and not to experience a rise in affection may be a sign that we are not seeing Him as we imagine.
