I hope you can hear the sarcasm in my words — not ANOTHER worship blog. \u00a0It seems that everyone these days writes a worship blog. \u00a0Why would I want to add to the infinite and frequently trite discussions of musical styles, how to create the ever elusive “flow” or “groove,” or creating a proper worship atmosphere.<\/p>\n
The truth is, I don’t<\/strong> want to add to those discussions. \u00a0I want to write about things that cut deeper to the heart of what it means to be a worshipper — a disciple of Jesus Christ. \u00a0These ideas flow from my discussions with other worship leaders, friends, and my family.<\/p>\n For my part, here is what I promise to anyone that is so gracious as to follow my blog posts and thoughts. \u00a0I want to think about the topic of worship from new and creative perspectives — and while, for better or worse, things like musical styles will always have a place in the discussion of worship, I plan to avoid such surface issues unless I have something truly unique to say. \u00a0I want this blog to be fun, creative, and thoughtful. \u00a0And while I want it to be\u00a0a place to read something new, I also want it to be something that will provoke discussion and deep thought about the real challenges of worship leading in our modern world<\/strong>. \u00a0So here’s the list of my upcoming posts in the hopes that you might come back each Monday.<\/p>\n 1. \u00a0Sex, Lies, and Worship — A G (or maybe PG) look at the similarities between the rise in pornography and the popular church views on worship<\/p>\n 2. \u00a0How a Chronic Illness Improved My Ministry\u00a0— The importance of a good annual physical<\/p>\n 3. \u00a0Long Live Latin!\u00a0— Why it’s time to bring back Latin as the official language of worship<\/p>\n 4. \u00a0Part 1 of a 2 part series: \u00a0It’s Time to Fire Your Guitar Playing Worship Leader — The tongue-in-cheek case for a full-time worship theologian<\/p>\n 5. \u00a0Part 2 of a 2 part series: \u00a0It’s Time to Fire Your Classically Trained Music Minister — The tongue-in-cheek case for a full-time worship theologian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I hope you can hear the sarcasm in my words — not ANOTHER worship blog. \u00a0It seems that everyone these days writes a worship blog. \u00a0Why would I want to add to the infinite and frequently trite discussions of musical styles, how to create the ever elusive “flow” or “groove,” or creating a proper worship …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14,"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.notanotherworshipblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
