“Worship is not music. We can certainly worship Him without musicians and without a song. And by the way, God does not actually seek worship. The Word tells us that He seeks worshippers. He's not looking for those who make the most beautiful music. He's looking for those who worship in spirit ... and in truth. Music is only one of the ways that he has ordained for us to express our worship. Yet too many worship leaders today spend more time honing their craft and planning / rehearsing their worship sets, than they spend on their face, alone in worship.” WayDoeTodayBeautifulFacesSpiritSongLeaderWorshipMusicianMusic IsPlanningCraftsMore TimeWorshippersWithout MusicRehearsingBeautiful MusicHoning Author:Steven Rice
