Worship Podcast & Blog
I don’t know for sure, but there could be something missing in your worship team.
No, it’s not better music, more popular songs, or tighter production. It’s not newer gear, younger musicians, or more connections.
It’s something simpler, but not simplistic. You can’t just copy it from another ministry.
You can’t just turn it on and turn it off.

Worship in church can often become a frantic pursuit for an experience with God, instead of allowing Him to shape us.
Holiness, similarly, has always been presented as a frantic pursuit of right standing with God through legalistic measures.
Too often worship in life is only experienced for an hour on Sunday, when the band plays well. Holiness, even worse, has been abandoned as out of touch with reality and an impossibility in our culture.
We must reconsider all that we have left behind by ignoring a God who is holy and desires a holy people to worship Him.
I’ll be the first to admit, worship is easy.
Many of us don’t fear losing our lives for gathering with the church to worship. While that is a tremendous blessing, it can also be our greatest curse.
When my heart is dry and I don’t feel like worshiping, I go to Scripture.
There’s nothing that stirs my affection for God like His Word.

When was the last time you considered the tremendous privilege of entering God’s presence?
