I shared part of this in a similar thread "What is worship anyway?" The word "worship" in John 4:23 is actually "proskuneo" which is to adorn, fall down and kiss the feet of. The word "worship" in Romans 12:1 is actually "latreia" which is service rendered to God. We often mix up two...

As the OP said, there's no issue with the radio broadcast. I was just offering a different perspective - because I've seen it all over: the fear of lost "tithes and offerings" driving decisions. I agree, we NEED to keep meeting together, physically, but it's REALLY nice to offer the option...

I don't think many folks will argue the benefit of streaming. I think that OP has a deeper issue to contend with: a heart matter. It sounds like the person on the board/council is worried that "If they don't come to church we won't get their money". I've seen it many times... fear of revenue...

Lol that's a matter of opinion and direction of the song and music director. I have had bassists play the lead parts of songs before ( intros or interludes and such) and it sounds amazings and adds so much depth. Not on every song, but some. You were talking about being easy to play, not...

Great video on the versatility of keyboardists who KNOW their tools.

If you are only playing the root, then yes, super easy, super boring. Same with lead - if you are only playing the melody, easy and boring. I just don't think bass is the easiest to learn. Honestly, rhythm guitar is the easiest. Learn about 6 to 8 chord shapes, slap a capo on and Bob's your...

Not sure why I'm just now seeing this. I'm not a theory master, but I do understand it. It sounds like your worship leader plays the guitar and wants everyone to play what he's playing lol! I love the iii and vii dim where they are, but most guitar chord sheets have the I/iii and vii dim 7th...

A keyboardist who knows how to work a motif/nord3/kronos with synths and a midi controller is WAY more versatile (to the overall presence of music) than a guitarist with a Helix. The reason is the modern keyboard can swell mutliple sounds in and out, add drum pads, clicks, or ANYTHING - most of...

I agree with Tolworth John... clearly define what you WILL do, or ask the "Board" for a list of prioritized tasks and do those. I'll be honest with you though, while reading through your post I kept thinking "Does God still want him there? Is his season over there and is it time to move to...

Oh, I'm well aware that's ministry, and I'm not complaining. I was offering a differing perspective to someone who's seemingly not understanding of what those of us IN ministry go through, what we are keeping tabs of, where we are going, where our focus is trying to remain, and all the while...

Yeah, Slothman, totally agree.. Talk about harsh judgment. God can talk through anyone, through any medium. Stop saying what you "like" or "favor" is the only good thing out there and by all means STOP acting like it's what God wants. How about we are all uniquely created, therefore we can...

The word "worship" in John 4:23 is actually "proskuneo" which is to adorn, fall down and kiss the feet of. The word "worship" in Romans 12:1 is actually "latreia" which is service rendered to God. You see, you are mixing up two completely different meanings here. Yes, worship should come from...

My opinion, though not popular, is based off of almost 25 years of church Music Ministry service, 12+ of that as a "Worship Pastor". It is 100% a heart issue, and it starts from the top. Worship leaders these days don't always Pastor their team, they manage, administer, and "lead" their team...

About 15 years ago when I decided it was time to learn how to do what I felt God calling me to "Leading Worship", I discovered Paul's ability to teach. In fact his website was (and is) Home Page | Leadworship it's all in the name. I bought all of his books, his dvds and learned from him where...

Stories like this give me hope! :)

I have, and I've actually tried wrapping "up" the post instead of down, hoping to reduce the degree of angle on the string coming off the nut. That helped the most, but only a little, which in the end wasn't enough. I've tried several wrapping methods, to no avail. It's a sweet guitar with...

One other comment to add on "hanging with attendees" before, between, or during services from me. When I'm there on Sunday, it's to serve the congregation. I do that by keeping my focus on my ministry and taskings. On my team I have 5 vocalists, 6 musicians, and a 3 person A/V crew running...

These are solid guitars - and that PRS is beautiful! You'll get there soon - my kids aren't quite at the college age, so I'm spending a little now to last me through those.. "lean" years to come LOL! I've not played the SE Santana, but I will say that the stock American PRS guitars (my only...

Man, I was wrong lol its a 414CE lol... sorry (I updated my post above). And yes... I LOVE playing these guitars :) I'm very.. VERY blessed!

Hey all! I'm not sure that the title correctly portrays what I meant, but I basically wanted to share some low cost moves we've made to clean up not only our stage setup, but also improve our overall sound in the congregation, as well we some tips and things we've learned. In-Ear Monitors We...
