Leading worship is a performance. Dispel the taboo
This was a retweet by my friend Mark Zubert that I saw on my TweetDeck that caught my eye immediately. I followed the link and came upon this article found on Worship Leader Magazine’s website.
If you have any opinion about worship and the role worship leaders play you need to check this article out. For instance, the author of this article writes,
In fact, the tendencies of our flesh are at times used as the basis of objection to an ethic/theology of musical excellence in our worship. Often, in our desire for a pure worship experience devoid of anything unspiritual, one blatantly obvious reality is obscured: a performance of some kind must take place. In order for anything musical to occur at all in a worship service a hand must be lifted, a mind engaged, and we then proceed to ply the craft we have taken years to perfect. We are, in fact, performing regardless of our motives, understanding of anointing or our philosophical objections.
What say you?
Then at the end of the article the author compiles a list of the The top five myths and taboos of the worship service.
