For me, the most profound moment of this chapter was in the section about conduct.
"God wants our conduct to be an example to others. If the way we live doesn't back up what what we proclaim on Sunday morning, we're not only deceiving the church-we're misrepresenting the God we claim to be worshiping." (p 45)
OUCH! Many times I have screwed this up on a Sunday afternoon. We can't live the life of a worship leader for just a few short hours on Sunday, I am convinced it has to be a lifestyle. And, at the objection of some, probably more than the average christian. You see, the word "leader" in our title subconsciously denotes a level of expected behavior from others. Right, wrong, or otherwise, it does. We just need to keep that in the forefront of our minds as we live out our daily lives.
