Highlights

Just was struck by some thoughts of a great blog I follow - it's extremely pertinent to the weekly struggles of the average worship team member. I don't normally post up stuff about my faith, but here's to great writing, great spirituality and great humbleness.

Saturday Night Live & Worship Leading "I remember being at a conference one time where Chris Tomlin was leading worship, and after a quite rousing worship song, said, ‘Hey guys, I just want you to know that it’s not like this at my home church. I don’t usually lead worship for 4,000 worship leaders who paid to come to a conference. It’s so awesome to look out and see everyone singing and worshiping.’"

Leading Worship "All this can be summed up with simply this: lead by example. I think sometimes we’re so busy trying to lead people, that we don’t have time to even be the Christ-like example to which we’re trying to lead them."

You Are Not Above Practicing "Most of us would like to think we’re that guy; the guy who can improvise perfectly, on the spot, something that shocks producers, floors the artists, and fits perfectly with the flow, style, and feel of a song we’ve never heard before."

And one more, a satire of the role of the worship leader! Really down to earth and instantly identifiable.
