Sometimes I worry with the worship band phenomena that worship becomes too much of a spectator sport, where we can get to distracted with getting entertained that we forget what it is we're really trying to do. Obviously a skilled and gifted worship leader can be helpful at directing attention in the proper direction.<BR/><BR/>Personally I like the idea of everyone just showing up with their instrument, whether it be there voice, a tamborine, Kazoo, or a nice set of spoons and joining in praising God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13996416.post-1143289863692509082006-03-25T07:31:00.000-05:002006-03-25T07:31:00.000-05:00I have found worship takes many forms.

I have experienced a setting where worship was suppose to be happening - but it seemed empty and very insignificant.<BR/><BR/>I think 'unity' is key. It is indeed a love dance, a celebration, between a Triune Creator and his corporate creation (us not just me). All are involved. Image that comes to mind are the endless waves (of love) that would lap up onto a shoreline with regular frequency, ease and sense of peacefulness forever.<BR/><BR/>Obstacles that hinder the creation's ability to worship: most don't know who they are in Christ; failure to realize that God lives amongst His people (now) daily in the trenches of life (so toss the OT understanding that we are going to meet God in the big temple and hopefully we will have audience).<BR/><BR/>Joel Cominsky is on track: It is a party; a celebration; delighting in our robes of righteousness and garments of salvation. <BR/><BR/>Worship is beginning celebrating the eternal now. I believe God the Father wants to dance embraced WITH his creation as much more than having his creation dance FOR Him.<BR/><BR/>God is indeed a mystery - I just enjoy the day. I Celebrate that He is living his life in me as me. Sorry about your luck. spoken, in collective corporate love, the RoGAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
