seeing you lead worship a couple sundays ago, justin, i see that sincerity of worship in you. that would make you, yes, a worship rock star. reaching for the touch of God’s presence was simple and wonderful (however, in all honesty, maisie was a huge distraction …)

I think that a great line in this other post is the need to differentiate between rock music and the rock-star production that is accompanying rock worship music. I wonder if the underlying acceptance of treating worship leaders like stars is in the same vain of consumerism of worship..our priorities just suck...we're no longer a 'righteous people' if we allow our priorities or worship of worship to get out of whack. Mike...i now expect your vote when I audition for American Idol...your comment moved me to try out and abandon all other plans...wait...I'm already too old...never-mind...back to church-planting :) Dennis…great link…if anybody reads this post then check out the link Dennis put as well…It’s just me who uses ‘sick to my stomach’ terms…and this link is even stronger than my post! ouch on us.
