A Prophetic Dream?
Like you, I’ve had my share of goofy dreams; dreams that made no sense whatsoever. But every so often… Last night’s dream was odd, but when I awoke it no longer seemed that way. Rather, it seemed to whisper to my heart, “sent by God.” I dreamed I was leading worship, nothing unusual about that;…

Keep On Singing!
Have you ever wondered why King David was, according to the Lord, “a man after My own heart” (Acts 13:22)? I’ve heard many opinions throughout the last 38 years. And I’ve agreed with most of them. Some ideas are: David’s passion for God, his love for worship, warrior mentality, honesty and integrity, he was quick…

Hands To War, Fingers To Fight
“Praise the Lord , who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle.” (Psalm 144:1 NLT) “Hands trained for war, fingers skilled for battle”, doesn’t necessarily mean someone trained for fighting in hand to hand combat, or someone skilled in bow and arrow. Not necessarily. There is…

IGNITE!
“Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there…

Musicians and Music
It’s been said that musicians are a strange breed of cat. I’ve been inclined to agree. But I’m not sure anymore. I believe everyone has a bit of peculiarity about them. God would call it uniqueness. However, there is something powerful about music. Maybe it’s the melody, words, rhythm, and harmony all working together that…

Worship Amidst Trials
“After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.” He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”…

Worship Is Not A Magic Lamp
Part 3 of “An Open Letter To Worship Teams” “Do we sometimes treat worship like a modern day Aladdin’s Lamp?” There’s a word, a thought, I’d like to share with everyone, especially every believer. But particularly with anyone who is part of a worship team. The thought is this: God is not trying to hide…

An Open Letter To Worship Teams (part 2)
“Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, “Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?” And the Lord said, “Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.” So Judah said…

An Open Letter To Worship Teams (part 1)
Long before Creation, as described in Genesis 1, and long before Adam yielded his position and authority to the Serpent, something was happening in the heavens, and in Heaven itself. Worship! 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…
