WOW! I have been leading worship at my church for about 3 years and still so new at it. But this article reveals things to me that I need to learn, especially point #2! Thank you for such insight and help.
Let Christ alone be lifted up!
I'm sorry, but please don't forget worship is never about people, worship is only about God. Worship should always focus on Him and Him alone. I'm not sure if that's what you were referring to, but I think it needed to be said.
I so needed this. I sit at my desk with tears rolling down my face. There is much wisdom in this and a powerful reminder of what worship should truly be about. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you for this great article. I am not a worship leader but it applies to me as a leader.
I have the opportunity from time to time to lead worship. People have encouraged me when I have shared scripture as it is not our regular practice. I like the entire article. One thing that has struck me lately in visiting another church is that we don't introduce ourselves. So anyone who is a guest or new will refer to "that guy" or "the one who led worship". It would be nice to have a name with the face. I really enjoyed this article – thank you for sharing it.
I am definitely guilty to have had most of these thoughts at some point. You think you learn, and then one day you realise that you have fallen back into one of these traps again. Thank you for reminding me again to be humble and let God work.
