Day 25 - Worship
A few days ago, I visited another chruch's youth band practice. I have to say that technically they are much superior than us. But one thing one of the youth there said really made me very sad and downcast for a few hours.
He said something to the effect of "Got good music, easier to worship God"; then later they went on to rehearse the song "Heart of Worship". Ironic isn't it?
Hearing what he said really pained me, and I had that "sian" look on my face the whole evening after that. Even after the practice was over and they invited me to join them for dinner, I declined and went home.
The first time the word worship appears in the Bible is when Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac. No music, no big band, no singing, no big group of believers to jump around with; just Abraham, Isaac, a knife and a lot of wood.
That is what worship should be, a sacrifice. Worship has nothing to do with music; and my primary role as leader of One Voice is spread that message to all the youth. Firstly to the members of One Voice then to rest.
If a member of One Voice had instead made that statement, I would have no reservation shutting One Voice down; for it has simply failed in its mission.
