I Love Artists

Worship_blog_5_2_2008 

Why was worship so powerful at the Women's Retreat?

Simple.  Jason brought it!  His band was phenomenal; the musicians gave heart and passion to their worship.  The women sang along as Jason led us in praise, confession, prayer and celebration.

Where would normal people - people like me - be without the artists who help us worship? 

With great artists leading me, I confess my sins more throughly.  I praise God with more focused enthusiasm.  I repent more deeply.  I sing more confidently.  Jesus-loving, God-fearing, Spirit-led artists are God's gift to the Church. 

Every artist who commits their art to the glory of God enriches the Church. 

Artists arise! 

No one can do for the Church what you can do, so bring it, and we'll gladly follow.   

Hebrews 6:1  - "So come on, let's leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on "salvation by self-help" and turning in trust toward God."

What do you mean "normal people like you?" I miss the days of you and the 12-string leading worship!
