Hey all,
It feels like many years since I've blogged about anything. If you haven't already checked out Mike's recent post, you probably should because it really does hit home.
Here's my thought for today:
I am 1 of 4 guys in my household that happened to be PKs (Pastor's Kid). We grew up with a fascination for playing musical instruments that whenever we reunite, my brothers and I would always be ready to play our own instruments/ sing.
Growing up, I thought leading worship was the easiest song as long as you have an instrument and your right singing voice. God eventually taught me that a beautiful voice, fancy tricks on the drums, and admirers does not impress God if there isn't a true reverence and adoration for Him. In fact, a horribly singing person (you're probably thinking of someone at your church right now...) could sound like something beautiful to God if that person's passion and reverence for God is found in that worship.
Webster defines worship as "extravagant respect or admiration for or devotion to an object of esteem"
What I'm suggesting is that even if the newest mainstream worship song can move people to emotions, what is your main objective in that worship? Is it really to help others shed some tears and once the music stops, have those people leave the same way they came in? Or worship with a pure heart while inviting the Holy Spirit to do what it came to do and become just someone in the background?
It's time to worship in spirit and in truth, not in an emotional movement and intentions that hinder God from fully moving in church.
