Kris BainesThe main thing is knowing what your specific responsibility is, and then seeing it as that - a responsibility, before the Lord, and towards your leaders and fellow church members, as you prayerfully select the most appropriate songs for your worship service.
Kris BainesIt's important for us, as church musicians, to understand that false teachers and wolves in sheep's clothing do not just occupy the pulpit - they can also be found behind microphones in a worship team or as professing Christian songwriters.
Kris BainesAs we seek to lead the congregation in true worship, let's always be mindful that while we should try to do what we can to aide this, we can't make or force it to happen. True worship is a genuine, heartfelt response that is motivated by a desire to praise our Creator and Savior.
