Worship
Agreement
It’s not enough that we believe.
“You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.” - James 2:19
We need to agree. Agree with what God says about us. Agree that His plans are best.
With agreement comes power.
Do you believe? […]
Let’s Argue About Worship
(This post is part of Watercooler Wednesday, hosted by Ethos)
The Music section of Christianity Today online noted today that “modern worship music” could be considered 10 years old this year. In 1998, there were seminal releases from Delirious?, Sonicflood, Hillsong, Michael W. Smith and others that really kicked things off to where we are […]
SoulFire - Braggin’ On Our Team
Our interim pastor Bobby McGraw has begun his final sermon series for us, he’s called it SoulFire. This is what we came up with to accentuate the series (click the picture for a bigger look):
This is made from five scenic flats (wood frames 4 by 8 feet, covered in muslin). We screwed the flats into […]
Acting As If

Watercooler Wednesday - Return Of The Keytar
(This post is part of the Watercooler Wednesday series at Ethos. Check it out and join in!)

I came across a […]
Gripe, Gripe, Gripe
What’s the most ridiculous complaint you’ve heard in your church?
We’ve heard the usual. The drums are too loud. Crank it up, it’s too soft. The room is too dark. The room is too bright. That guitar player is too aggressive. Why don’t you let Mrs. So-and-so sing that Sandi Patty song that she does so […]
Podcast Prep

I think what’s finally pushed me over the edge has been a discussion on numerous blogs I read about a magazine that many worship leaders subscribe to and read. I think that worship leading 2.0 has gone beyond mags and CD’s, […]
Off To Florida
Anna and I are headed to Bonita Springs, Florida today. We’re leading worship Thursday through Sunday at an event for the Jesus Film Project.
It’s called a “Briefing”, where they bring in their current and potential donors, show them what the film has accomplished this year and their upcoming plans.
If you’re not familiar with The Jesus […]
