I had a great meeting with one of our worship leaders this summer, Nate. What an awesome guy, with a huge heart for God, ministry, missions, and worship.
-
I'm always humbled and amazed at the privilege of working with men and women of excellence and heart, and wisdom and teachability. I look forward to learning from him this summer, and I hope you do too! His leadership helps take us into the throne room of God...what can be cooler than that!
-
He's an intern, and so I haven't checked the books but that usually means we are paying him in food-stamps and loose change from the till.
-
so...
-
somebody...yes YOU! Needs to make sure he's taken care of. Take him out to lunch this week after church. Order him a big fat steak by golly, and finish him off with some obscene dessert.
and everybody else...give him a hug and a thank-you for giving his gift to God and us.
-
And the other picture at the top. I typed "worship leader" into flickr and got this picture and it just captivated me. The woman is in a rapture, her emotions are deep on her face, and filling her whole body. She's in the grove, and intimate with God...you can just FEEL it.
-
Which leads me to my final point. If you really want to honor Nate and God this Sunday, come ready to worship. Ready to follow his lead in the spirit. Ready to pour your alabaster heart all over the feet of Jesus. Don't wait, come ready. Get up a little early and pray, and worship, and read some Psalms. And when the first song comes out try to blow the band clear off the stage, and see if you can get Jesus to really feel loved and welcomed...let's get HIM to smile, enjoy himself, and feel the love of our hospitality.
-
Remember, always remember. WE are on the stage, and we are all playing to an audience of one. JESUS

PS: Pray for him and his discernment about going to Ireland in January
