Hello everyone.
I have been looking forward to giving all of the Worshipping Servant Project Partners and update on the last 3 weeks. I want to say again thanks to everyone for your amazing support. The fruitfulness in this endeavor is springing from the soil of your support. Here is what’s up . . .
Book Project – The Worshipping Servant
The creative process is both a wonderful and frustrating process. I have written 3 addition chapters and am getting a clearer sense of other sections that need to be either cut, reworked or rewritten all together. Still, the focus of seeing worship ministries actually reflect the two great commandments has never been clearer. Think about this, the first 30 minutes of every believer’s experience as a Church is a result of what the worship promotes. As a worship pastor, am I sowing an environment of passionate love for God and people or am I allowing my own agenda and the principles of the world set the tone. I am seeing more clearly how significant the battle is to remove my agenda, my desires and my interests out of the way and truly live out a true love of God and a true love of people in that setting. I believe that if the Church across America really wants to see revival that we must center this gathering experience in a radical light of love for God and love for each other. I will be focusing all of my energies on the book from June 17 through July 1st and then resume focusing some time on the CD project.
CD Project – Simplicated
This title keeps jumping out to me because we tend to complicate the simple things. God has called us to love Him and love each other, pretty simple, but we struggle to come back to the source of that simplicity. I have written about 10-12 songs in the last 2 weeks. As is the case in writing, you have to get through writing the bad songs to get to the good ones, the Lord is sewing confidence that the songs for this project are beginning to come. My goal by July 5 is to have a pool of 15-20 songs that I will draw 6 from. There are 4 cover songs that I will be recording for the CD as well. In reality, the finishing of this CD will probably be come this fall sometime but I am here to say that without this focused time, getting the ball rolling, it would have never happened at all. I look forward to giving you some preview clips of the songs as they are mixed.
Again, thanks to everyone, for those who have committed and haven’t had the opportunity to send in the support feel free to do so anytime. For those who gave the first half, I would encourage you to send the second half by July 5th.
