Throughout my years in music ministry I've recognized that we in the church music circles are not any different from those in the secular world. We want a better position and a spot in the limelight. However, if we look at the principals of Christ, is that a healthy mindset? We should support one another, respecting those who are both more and less gifted than we are. | It’s natural to want to be recognized and looked up to. However, when it comes to our place in the ministry, things should look different. |
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." | Not everyone is called to be a main worship leader or to be in charge. So if we believe that God is in control of everything, we should not have the urge to fight for a better position. He will put us in the place we belong. Sometimes God wants to see our heart first, placing us in a lesser spot than we are qualified to serve in. So what’s our place then? It’s whatever place we've been given and being faithful in that position! |
