great christmas songs
hello everyone,
merry week before Christmas to you all. i hope you are enjoying this special season with many of your family and friends. there is much to celebrate this time of year. most of all, we celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is most worthy of all our attention and affection this Christmas season. as a musician and worship pastor, one of the things i love about this time of year is the great Christmas songs we get to sing. i love Christmas music. there are so many great Christmas songs out there and i would encourage you this season to explore the vast realm of traditional Christmas music. dive into some of the rich theological Christmas tunes written by some of the greats in hymn writing history such as Isaac Watts, John Francis Wade, and Martin Luther. i hope you have a great week and i look forward to singing some of these great songs with you this sunday see you there!
also, don’t forget our Christmas eve service times. see you there!

enough with entertainment
i love the concept of worship being undistractingly excellent. i do not strive for my worship ministry to be perfect and i am definitely not in the business of entertaining people. it drives me nuts when i see or hear of churches that use all the “bells and whistles” to entice people to come to church. as karl clausen says, “i am not being judgmental, just exercising judgement.” (lol) as a worship pastor who is passionate about making the name of God famous in our world, i think this is something that needs to be called out. we should not be seeking to entertain people, period. we should be seeking to direct their attention and affection toward the living God who can powerfully change their lives. i know those who seek to entertain say that it is simply used as a means to get them in the door and then they hear the gospel. well, i’m sorry but i don’t buy it. first of all, humans are not fish that need to be lured in by bate. we are humans with souls that ultimately long after God whether we know it or not. second of all, the “gospel” that they are receiving after they are lured in is often not really the full gospel. it is a watered down, diluted one that is pleasing to the ears. so, why don’t we get out into our communities, share the gospel, which is everyone’s ultimate need, and let the power of Jesus radically change their lives? why don’t we conduct our worship services in a manner that keeps God’s glory at the center instead of man’s best interest? why don’t we allow the power of the almighty God to set us on fire and know that when that happens, people will come to “watch the flames burn?” my point is simply this, brothers and sisters, God receiving glory, honor, and praise is the most ultimate destiny of everything. so, lets conduct our services in such a way that we seek those things. yes, we will experience community, exhortation, and all of the other things the bible says we should do when we come together. lets not seek to entertain one another. lets not seek to “tickle” each other’s ears with things we want to hear. lets let the power of the living God convict and change us, those we come in contact with, and those that walk through our doors. enough with the moving concert lights and smoke!

if you are new to reading/following my blog, there are a couple of things you should know. first, i don’t capitolize anything other than the name(s) of God or references to Him. i do this simply to drive the point home that we are not worthy of anything good, but it is God who deserves all honor and glory. we are nothing compared to Him. we should live our lives as a reflection of that. also, every week i post the songs that we sing in church (at life fellowship church). i do this so you can become super familiar with the songs we are doing and can, therefore, hopefully worship with us with more freedom. i hope you are blessed by this blog. may the Lord be with you this week. see you sunday!
