Worshiping Worship?
The other day the David Crowder Band Collision Tour rolled through Denver. I thought it would be a great opportunity to build some community with my worship team, so we gathered at church for some pizza and headed to the show, worship event or whatever else you want to call it. The event was great, a beautiful display of musicianship, sound and electronic gizmos saturated the room and hearts of the sold out church auditorium. Maybe I am just negative but the environment of the night was a bit confusing. Where does one draw the line between worshiping God and worshiping the worship leader(s)?
"Please welcome to the stage David Crowder!" Hear the roar? The crowd goes crazy! This is unbelievable!
In my opinion the people on stage came across very genuine. I sat there and thought throughout the show, "Is this a bad thing?" In the end I came to the conclusion that the night must not be judged as a whole, but more individually. I honestly went to the show to listen to music. I went to see a bunch of great musicians showcasing their talent. Contrary to my intentions I met God at this place. It was a very worshipful night for me. The music produced a glimpse of beauty that must represent the glory of God. It was too amazing to not. Looking back on the experience I learned a lot. I want to be man that lives a life of worship. Too much of the time I worry about trivial things. Who cares? I want my heart to be like Jesus'. I want to live out of compassionate eyes and live this belief that chose me.

Hello. I live in Arizona where we have good mexican food.
Everyone likes different styles because God, being a creative God, made us with different personalities. So When you get the chance worship God, no matter what the forum. Worship in the silence, worship in the loudness, in a crowd, worship with lights, or in the nights (I am starting to sound like Dr. Suess - you get the idea)! God is rich.
p.s. I even worship God when I see the Sun's play - only God can make a person to be able to do what those guys do!

The night was amazing huh? I also went just to hear some great music and I thought his new CD was awesome but worship is what took place. You're right, I guess it doesnt really matter the purpose, I just enjoyed the outcome in my life :-)
