God is alive in me.

God is alive in me.  What a thought! The Creator of everything – humanity, the earth, the universe – is actually woven into the very fabric of my soul.  Whatever I do, He does.  Whatever I say, He hears.  That is a crazy thought.
I’ve just been thinking about this lately and how the most pleasing worship to God is not our corporate rallies when we come together, get lost amongst the crowd, get inspired to lift our hands because we’re caught in the moment, but really it’s the little things that please Him the most.  It’s our very heartbeat that He cares about.  What we think, what we say, if we act out of love or selfishness towards others.  Now, that’s an even crazier thought, that our little offerings of worship, the smallest things in life, can be the greatest acts of worship!

Beautiful, humble & pure spirit

Posted by citipointelive on Monday Dec 8, 2008 Under Inspiration

Hello to you wonderful peeps,

I want to quickly chat to anyone who is a worshiper, worship leader or worship pastor. Below is what I believe is a key ingredient into a beautiful, humble and pure spirit.

Servant hood – a value worth protecting.

We are creating servants in the house of God not Superstars.

This is not a gig it is ministry!

As volunteers and leaders we have a certain responsibility to encourage a humble and pure heart in the life of our worship team and congregation. One of our respected roles as a worshiper is that of embracing the role of servant hood.

· Serving in the areas of our gifts, on and off stage should be viewed as an honor not a chore.

· Serving behind the scenes is just as important to God as serving a congregation with great worship from stage, in fact it is more important because it shows God the real you and what your heart values when you don’t get seen.

· Serving from stage – must result in people’s eyes, hearts and thoughts being guided and lifted toward our Heavenly daddy, and how GREAT He is. (Not to how great we may think we are). Let God be seen!

“Talent is God given. Be humble.

Fame is man given. Be grateful.

Conceit is self given. Be careful”

-John Wooden

This kind of belief is big, and it is up to us as leaders to confront and communicate this culture within our team and church.

Love Becky
