EXACTLY!!! The point of being a lead worshiper is LEADING/ushering others to the foot of His throne… or else you may as well be sitting in the pews with the other worshipers, right?

my friend, i really like what you are doing with your blog as far as small running themes and consistent posts. I love your anology and I think thats true in all walks of life. Any time we are in a service position it is so important (but so hard) to make sure we are serving as those we serve need and want to be served, not just as we find it easy to serve. later.

p.s. first place still feels good.

very good point once again, mr. braun. this is huge indeed. i’m pretty oldschool in my preferences for worship music (hello, heritage singers?) so i have to really make a conscious effort to adapt my preferences with what the congregation would find comforting to enter into worship. it’s a bummer when a leader doesn’t grasp how important this is, and if the congregation doesn’t outwardly show their worship the assumption might be that it speaks of the individuals in the congregation’s personal walks and not the environment the leader himself helping facilitate.

however, if the leader is looking for honest feedback and people aren’t honest with him/her because of fear or whatever, that’s obviously not good.
