Toward Building an Awesome Music Ministry - By John Pape Jr.
3) Build the house using the right tools
Whenever a carpenter, mason, contractor builds a house the
success of that project depend on having the right tools to
build the house. As someone who uses music to minister to the
people you serve, it is important that you have the right
tools also. There are several factors that will help improve
you presentation and delivery of the message you are responsible
to give. You need to be skillful in the things you do. Remember
it is God who is working through you. God is not mediocre and
neither should you. After all you need to realize that Christ
dwell in you. With the right tools you can dramatically improve
your ministry.
4) Moving into the house.
When Solomon's temple was completed and the people began to
worship and amazing event took place that is nothing short of
phenomenal. God's glory filled the temple. I truly believe that
when God is in the midst of our worship it is nothing short of
amazing. I think you will agree with me that when everyone is in
the right frame of mind and heading in the same direction, with
the blessing of the Lord, nothing is impossible. Include having
the Creator inhabit the praises of His people.
What makes this process better is that it is based on solid Biblical
principles. These principles have proven to be the best way to start
and fulfill the commission. It is illustrated by the awesome task
undertaken by Solomon to build the Temple. Scripture further reinforces
it. Furthermore, what makes it better is that is simple. Have you ever
noticed that the most profound things in life are often rooted is
simple easy to understand ideas. I feel that I was blessed to share
this information to help build the body of Christ. My vision is to
see as many people as possible experience the moment when God's
Glory fills the temple. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
