gifts in the area of music and and the arts, who are called to the ministry

needs good talent and has lacked in this area for years. We have
operated under the false notion that if they have a heart to minister through

has hurt the cause more than helped it. I encourage you to hold tough

They have incredible gifts in music and the arts and the natural instinct
is to use them in worship. After all they are gifted in music and
called to ministry. But are they called to worship? Are they
worshipers? Do they help lead worship? What "qualifies" someone
to be a part of a worship team or a part of a worship ministry.
