Everything else is about the "how" that is played out in our time, situations, language, predisposition etc. I'll look forward to reading these.

I also serve in a "band director" type volunteer position. And I constantly struggle with getting to concerned with the administrative and "how" sides of the position. I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of this, because I'm in the same boat of trying to understand the "why" of worship. Thanks Tyler! Guilty.

I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of this, because I’m in the same boat of trying to understand the “why” of worship.

Thanks Tyler!

The "how" of worship typically revolves around us, styles, chords, powerpoints, lights, and is typically tied to a time and place. I am going to the church, at 10am, to worship. The "why" is what I think Eugene is getting at; laying aside our preferences, distractions, giftings, and aesthetics, and acknowledging the greatness of our God. This can be done anywhere, in a cubicle (where I am right now!), in a church, or in Stumptown admiring Gods gift of coffee. :) We serve an awesome God who is continually speaking to His people; I pray that I can learn to listen more and more. ::Erik I love this quote from Eugene Peterson–

One thing i have noticed is that churches get caught on the details....and Jesus was killed for daring to go against their laws even though he was healing someone while everyone was debating the rules. i look forward to your perspective good subject…look forward to reading.
