thoughts on worship

As a worship leader, God constantly calls me to reject the notion that I have anything to offer away from the shadow of the cross. We worship best when we empty ourselves. That’s the mystery of worship. It’s best for us to find way to completely abandon our self importance. It’s a paradigm that is opposite of “show business.” Amazingly we seem to get the two paradigms confused. Worship is mystery. Not agendas, not strategy, and certainly not business. It’s the mighty surrender that we are totally at His mecry and covered by His beloved grace. It’s not a celebration of glitz. It is a celebration of brokeness.
