Forming our abilities, to God's plan.
In keeping with Odum's talk about emotional worship, I would like to consider the impact we as band members can have in leading and encouraging the rest of the youth to worship in their own way no matter what type of song is being played. As a band, our skill of playing does have a factor in opening the youth up to being more expressive in their worship, but more importantly, I think that our attitude and focus plays a much more significant role. If we completely give our formed abilities... :P over to God as well as our hearts; I fully believe that our music will (to use a cliche') "be filled with the holy spirit" As the youth listen to music that has God present in it, they will be more inclined and wanting to worship, even if they are stonefaced. :) So lets try to not argue or debate over what songs to play, but instead ask God to show us what songs to use and let him work in the hearts of the youth. We as a band are just the method that God uses. And we should give it our all.

Finally, I get to comment on a post by someone else :P! That was very well written Ian. I like your pun too haha. I agree, the music that we play can be good technically, and yet, not be filled with God. We are showing others God, and for that to be conveyed clearly, we need to show what God is inside of us as well. It's almost like this: Water comes out of many mediums, filtered and unfiltered. I usually put mine in a Brita filter, and it's just awesome. But water can also come out of unfiltered places. We've all heard of sewers, right? It might be an extreme analogy, but I think it works. To lead people in worship, you also must be sincere in the worship that you give when you're on stage. If people see a sincere worship experience, they will be drawn to it sincerely. Sorry for the near post-like comment :S haha, but good job again Ian!
