MR called me to ask me to lead worship in Oct & Nov while some of the wLs take a break. She asked me bout the rehearsal that we had on Wed which led me to ask bout the model for "praise & worship" (P&W) part of our church services. Since we have a "model prayer" in what is popularly known as "The Lord's Prayer", is there a model for P&W and what guidelines did the Scriptures give us in leadinq P&W? I will be taking some time to see what God says and what others writers say about P&W.

This concern has been in my heart for a long time as a result of what I observed as "a passionless worship". How do u define "passionless worship"? It's the condition where worship is not given with the whole heart, soul, mind and strength. Deep convictions of what we do will always be reflected through our lives. Conversely our lives is a reflection of our inner convictions. I am not talking about hypocritical behaviour, though I lament the fact that they church is filled with the genguine and the phonie ones. If the people who runs the worship in the Temple of God were priests of different level, a certain kind of expectations are imposed upon these servants. I believe that it's the same for any worship ministry, though we open our ministry doors to all believers (with a indefinitel probation period). Since we are in the position which was once occupied by priests, we all should also see ourselves in the same service and live according to the demands that is expected from those predessesors of the mordern worship ministry.

I am really looking forward to leading again. I really miss doing it. CX also told me about my role in the youth cell next year. I'm looking fwd to it and I'd like to be more ready than this year. I have much to learn from the more organized leaders. I think I'll still avail myself for the main and youth service teams as a stand-in drummer. Incidentally I am playing this Sunday for the youth service. Wednesday was the rehearsal and I really sucked. Joel thought I had some emotional problem coz I looked worn, but I told him honestly that I was just upset with my playing. I always get upset when my tempo fluctuates. I hate it! I am a drummer, I am suppose to keep time but I not consistent at all. I must admit, my lack of playing and practising (I practise only sticking exercises) is evident, but I'll do my best on Sunday. Believe it or not, I am nervous man! I just want to play my best and give my all.
