A Series of posts on Worship: Worship in church

16 Apr

Worship in church is an incredibly broad and sweeping topic – so I’ll get right to it.
Our worship services are ALL about WORSHIP – every part of them being an act or an opportunity to WORSHIP. Nothing is exempt. If it IS exempt in your mind, or in the mind of your pastor or denomination, then you have the right to ask them why it isn’t an act-of or opportunity-to worship.

21 Mar

Learning is something I believe in. Why? Because I believe that’s how we grow. Either as a musician, carpenter or in our faith.

Do you believe in learning? If you do – great. If you don’t – why? Do feel things are beyond you? Are you just too busy or pre-occupied to bother? Are you pretty sure that can’t learn it anyway? Have you always found learning things difficult or that you never seem to “get it”?
