Here are 2 clips from the Paul Baloche Band Workshop series which (if you remember ..) we've reviewed almost a year & a half ago, when we first started out. I wanted to post this as a reminder about the role each of us "play" in the the band.
Remember the phrase of "less is more". I'ld like to add one more "BIG EARS". Keep you ears open to hear what others are playing and how/when you should play. This goes for vocals as well (your voice is the instrument).
Remember Clement mentioned "dynamics". Do not be too busy. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and restrain yourself from playing too much. God is our audience, not the congregation. Keep that "ego" away ....
It's a brand new week with some of us tackling our school exams (*breathe*), others, facing new challenges @ work (like me! Several phone calls from work over the weekend! Argh!!). Take heart Bros & Sis, the Lord of the Old Testament is also the Lord of the New Testament. We've concluded the series on Old Testament just last week and I hope that we all bring home (into our hearts) a better understanding of who God is and what He is doing through Creation (You & I). We're not very much different from the Israelites then. We complain a lot, we are forgetful, ungrateful etc etc (you get the idea!). Changed lives guyz .... changed lives .... dun walk away every Sunday as if it's just another Sunday.
The Lord wants you to live a purpose-driven life. Soooo ..... We'll be embarking on a new series for WKRZ titled "CALLING". Some people define "calling" as a job/vocation but I believe that's a very narrow definition. Well, God is calling you! He has called you to salvation when you're lost, He has called you home when you ran away .... Stay tune to fine out what your calling is.
I'ld like to share a song with you. Incidentally John will be leading Worship on 20th May (*whew*whew*). This is one of the songs he's selected. It's very meaningful. Titled: Offering.
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship." Romans 12:1
When God calls, we can only offer ourselves.
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love There is no shadow in Your Presence No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne Before the Holy One of heaven It's only by Your Blood and it's only through you mercy Lord I come I bring an offering of worship to my King No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due O Lord I bring an offering to You I bring an offering to You I bring an offering of worship to my King No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due O Lord I bring an offering to You O Lord I bring an offering to You O Lord I bring an offering to You I bring an offering to You
