There is a critical span of time AFTER we lead worship. Let’s talk about it.
The After Party (2 of 7)
June 3rd, 2009Limo Drivers
June 3rd, 2009Imagine the President comes to your town. He pulls up outside of the event location in the luxurious armored limo, steps out, and walks “the line” greeting people, shaking hands, and speaking with the citizens and press that are gathered at the event.
You, however, miss all of this.
You run straight to the driver’s side of the car, and try to speak to limo driver. As he rolls down the window, you ask questions…
“DUDE! That was the best slow-driving I’ve ever seen! The way you turned that corner without ever topping 4 MPH was amazing!!! Hey, what kind of hat are you wearing? Are those driving gloves leather?!? Do you have any tips for me as I drive my car? Are you using 92 octane, or is this thing diesel? Do you ever have a hard time getting the car to go in reverse? I want to drive just like you!”
The problem with this is that while you’ve gotten to know the limo driver and asked him some questions about his job, the President of the United States made himself available to you, and missed it.
Worship Leaders are a LOT like limo drivers.
We live in a strange time where worship leaders get a lot of attention. They play well, sing well, inspire us, lead us in worship, and they are a gift from the Lord. When we see them as the main attraction, though, we miss the entire point.
