…an iPad. Because blogging from my iPhone sucks, but not blogging at all sucks even more.

I don’t know that there’s anything inherently evil about designer jeans, expensive haircuts and color jobs, million-dollar sound equipment and 6-figure ministerial salaries. But when we are supposed to be on stage teaching people to worship how Jesus would have worshipped…we may just be blasphemers.

As worship leaders and Christian musicians, we’ve built an industry on songs written for peoples comfort and enjoyment, and we wonder why our songs are third-rate. Most worship music on itunes and on Christian radio is comprised of shallow songs that I wouldn’t dare sing to God were I to be transported to heaven above. We wonder why our congregations lack spiritual depth and maturity, and why we have lost our spirit of worship. As worship leaders and Christian musicians, we need not worry about writing songs that our congregations will feel comfortable singing, and start writing only those songs we would feel confident singing before Almighty God.
