Starting with this chapter, the book changes gears. It goes from self evaluation to job description and brings up some very interesting discussion questions. Read the quote from D.A. Carson at the bottom of page 53 before reading any further.
Wow! What a concept. Fact of the matter is that if you ask many people the question "What isworship?" don't be surprised if you get answers like, "when we sing music at church." Singing is a form of worship, but not the only form. After a conversation with a friend of mine, I have tried to emphasize that on Sunday mornings. Typically I will say something to the effect of "...as we continue our worship through reading, listening, and giving." Not sure if many or anyone catches that but I do not want people to have narrow minded views of worship. Worship is lifting our praises to God through song, but it is also worship to read his word and listen to what he has for each of us. It is worship to give our money and our time.
What is your thought on eliminating the term "worship leader" because of its descriptive inaccuracy? Any thoughts or ideas.....
