So you’re in church, ready to commune with God, expecting the angels to worship with you as you gather with your church family corporately to honour our Lord.
To offer a tiny sacrifice compared to what Jesus’ did and does for us, continuously.
Then the music starts.
“Ugh – I don’t like this song.”
“What? We’ve done this song 5 weeks in a row!”
“Why is it so loud?”
etc.
Suddenly, worship becomes about us. Oops.

I’m currently producing our church worship album (should be out by Christmas) and I’m also the music director for church. That doesn’t mean I personally like everything we do. It does mean I have to make sure the music ministry is going to fit with who we are as a church as communicated by our senior pastors. Often, that means doing things somewhat differently to how I might do them myself. That’s OK…but I wasn’t always able to say that. It would sometimes rob me of my ability to worship despite…
But it’s not about me.
