Craig Barnes - "The worship service features two sides of a sacred conversation. Those who lead in worship need to help people recognize themselves in the presence of God. They must also speak God’s words to the people so that they will know they are on holy ground. That is the experience people are longing for in worship. But before such a sacred conversation happens in worship, it must happen for those who lead in worship in their own soul."

ReplyDeletePhilip Butin - "We worship in the context of divine grace. It is God who is at work in our worship. We can rest knowing that the success of a service depends on God, not exclusively on our own effort. We don’t worship in order to gain God’s favor. We worship because of God’s prior favor to us, because of God’s invitation of us. This has redeeming implications for thinking about aesthetics, the motivation of worship leaders, and the content of each worship service."
Very true, worship belongs to the Lord and as a worship leader there were times when I was weak & felt unworthy and that were times when the Lord move mightily. I've learnt that worship is beyond formulas & techniques, it is a lifestyle we MAINTAIN!
