Yes, Ed! I guess I wrote it from my perspective, and I’m not much of an instrumentalist, but I find worshiping on my instrument takes on a new dimension when I play my heart. I know this about you–you play your heart everytime you play. You worship on all of your instruments in a beautiful way that it draws people into the presence of God. Authentic worship is contagious. It was meant to be.
I agree that sometimes the simple melodies play the deepest songs.

I get so busy with music at times. Sometimes It helps to reflect and play a simple melody. I’m frustrated at my “inability to sing” so I hope what I play is pleasing to Him! It comes from my heart!

I’ve been in churches like that too, Leslie, and I miss that too.
I think we are short-changing people to some degree when we fail to teach them how to recognize and respond to God’s prompting. We too easily become a part of the “program” and less and less like a human being in whom God makes His dwelling.
Worship is a constant flow of responses from my heart to Him.

Like you, I have found that much of worship in our churches, is done on a timeline-and it’s oftentimes man’s… NOT God’s. How much richer our lives would be if we worshipped with abandon, unencumbered by the constraints of the time on our watches. : )

In a church in MT-on which I played on the worship team-there were some days when our pastor didn’t even preach. When a member got a song from the Lord, we would just go with it, as the Spirit moved, and sometimes that flowed on for hours as others joined in and we worshipped. I have to say that I miss that…it was, in a word, MAGNIFICENT!
