Dance The Night Away
Ever had a day that seemed a month long? A night that would never end? How about sorrow that only deepened, never giving up, for months and years? An old song by Leo Thayer, “You make me feel like dancing”, jumped to the forefront of my mind yesterday. The phrase, “gonna dance the night away”,…

There Is A Fountain
Here’s a song that is 241 years old. Not exactly contemporary, is it? Yet the message never grows old! There’s something about a fountain, though. To enjoy its full benefit, one has to approach it in the correct manner. Since water flows downward, then the correct approach would be to put oneself lower than the…

An Open Letter To Worship Teams (part 1)

All the host of heaven worshipped the One Who sits on the Throne; Who was, and is, and is to come, The Almighty. Their…

The Worship Leader
I felt prompted to share some thoughts regarding the ministry of the worship leader. Almost every Christian church has one, though they have varying titles. Some are called Song Leaders, while others could be referred to as Worship Pastors, Music and Arts Pastors, Psalmist, or maybe one I haven’t heard of. I’ll use the term…
