Here recently I have had a lack of several things….
- creative ideas
- time with my family
- good food
- music (ipod, guitar, worship)
- quiet times
- reading
- blogging
- time with my family
- songwriting
- discipling worshipers
I’ve lacked these because I’ve been busy with others. I’m ready to get back to the basics of my life.
What have you lacked in the craziness of this Christmas season?
I think I’m now a third generation thief of this blog idea. First from Chris at Swerve then from Carlos at Ragamuffin. It’s a great concept that really deserves some thought by you as a worship leader or Christian.
A lukewarm worship leader:
- Prays more on stage than off stage.
- Is almost exclusively dependent on others songs to sing than writing songs for where their local church is at.
- Cares more about how many songs he or she is leading than the overall shape of the service.
- Is overly sensitive to criticism.
- Is jealous or critical of someone else that God is blessing.
- Spends little if any time in the Word preparing to lead His Church.
- Sings more songs on stage than in personal worship.
- Spends more time mimicking other worship leaders then being shaped into the worship leader they we made to be.
- Says things on stage that his or her family NEVER hear them say off stage.
- Personal quiet time is 2 hours at a local coffee shop surfing the web, updating blog.
- Listens more for the right melody than the voice of God during worship.
Can you think of more?
