Extracts from "The alluring power of performance"

• In leading a worship set people will know if I am driven by a spirit of selfpromoting performance
  
•  I want to impart a spirit of worship when I lead
  
• Musicians should pursue excellence in their performance BUT never let musical presentation take precedence over the heart of worship
  
• If I jealously guard the jewel of worship, the music isn't a distraction
  
• Having a feel good experience isn't the main goal
  
• Worship (leading) is all about making Jesus look good; it's about His name and His reputation
  
• Greek word in the Bible - LATREURN- meaning to worship, also means to serve
  
• Greek word DOULEURN- describes our bond-service to God. This word talks of "total dependence and obedience without any right of personal choice". When we feel unfairly treated we don't really have any rights; servants exist for the benefit of others.
  
• When we accept ourselves for what we are we decrease our hunger for power or the acceptance of others. We no longer fear criticism because we accept the reality of our human limitations.
