QotD [Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος]

"Worship is something that happens when humanity and divinity come together. The intersection does not produce perfection, but understanding. We are only human, and worship is meant, among other things, to remind us of that. The main idea behind worship is that we come to a good understanding of who we are and who God is.

"So away with the idea that worship is meant to be produced by experts and performed by professionals. Away with the idea that worship takes place up on a stage where it can be carefully orchestrated, controlled, and reproduced week in and week out, like some sort of TV show. I don't want order in church; I want dignity. And dignity comes not from control, but from understanding who you are and taking your rightful place in the world."

wow, beautiful. so true. i'm on the worship team at my church and we end up doing almost 6 hours of singing, three services in a row.... but even while onstage, we remember why we're there, who we are, where the focus needs to be. and we leave room for change, room for God to move us. and personally i think He's a big fan of improv. :-D

Amen. It's one of the reasons I like substitute teaching Hebrew School. The kids can be such a blast, when I can draw them out. I haven't been asked to sub in a long time. Maybe I should remind them, come fall, that I'm still available...
