Perspective Shift

This past Sunday, I sat and worshiped with my ACC family from the seats instead of the stage. Doing so gave me some huge perspective shifts and I wanted to share some of those with you today.

Onstage you worry about your notes.
Offstage you worry about your heart.

Onstage you set an example.
Offstage you set an example.

Onstage you say things to God out loud.
Offstage you say things to God from your heart.

Onstage you display your worship.
Offstage you display your worship.

Onstage your focused on what you're doing next.
Offstage your focused on what God is doing next.

Onstage you worship God with your church family.
Offstage you worship God with your church family.

Onstage you serve.
Offstage you live.

On both sides of the stage, God is only concerned with one thing - our hearts.

If our hearts are not worshiping Him, we might as well sit down and keep our mouths closed. God would rather have that from us then have us halfheartedly bring him worship that we don't feel like bringing at all.

I am blessed to lead a church that loves God and worships Him with their whole hearts. It is a privilege and an honor for me to stand in front of you each week and lead you to the throne of God and having a week to see just how you worship has taught me more than ten years standing in front of you has taught me.

Thank you God for this gift and thank you ACC for being as passionate about worship as you should be.
