Teach Them and They Will Learn - A Proven Technique

Worship Articles
by Stephen M. Newman
June 30, 2001


The bigger question for us is what are we willing to do to teach our people true worship?  Are we willing to step out and do what the Bible tells us to do?  Are we willing to take flack from those who oppose our positions?  Are we willing to lose our jobs over our convictions and calling?  Or will we ride the wave of comfort until we retire?  We will jump from church to church avoiding the conflict of this touchy subject?  

I have to do what God has called me to do.  I have and will continue to bring on uneasy times as I challenge people to grow in worship.  Worship isn't a comfortable thing and those who are worshippers know it.  True worship causes us to abandon our comfort zones, to die to self and give totally of ourselves because God is worthy of it.  There is nothing for us to gain from being true worshippers expect the knowledge that we are being obedient to God and His calling on our lives.  We worship because He is worthy of it yes, but we worship because the Bible tells us to and gives us clear direction on how to do it.

I encourage you to join me and the hundreds of worship leaders around the world as we commit our lives to teaching worship to the ones God has placed in our churches.  It won't be an easy road, but it will be the most rewarding thing you do in ministry.  They may be impressed with your talents, but they will be blessed as you reveal your heart and  teach them to worship.  Nothing moves me more than to see a believer who doesn't understand worship, become a worshipper before my very eyes.  As people learn they will understand.  When they understand, they cannot help but become true worshipping believers of the living, awesome God.  They will never be the same.
