The Samaritan Women

Women in Worship
by Debbi Barnett
June 28, 2001


So you see, worship isn’t music at all. Music is just a tool, an expression of the soul to our God based on truth. To know truth, is to love God. To love God is to lay naked before him, and not be ashamed. You’ll give him everything you have... your heart, soul and mind, and your music. You’ll give him your religious practices, your church building, and your lifestyle. You’ll stand firm when programs and situations go left. You will then have something solid to compare with. That’s the true worshiper the Father seeks.

Placing God first in your life will add newness in your walk with Christ. You will start to walk as Jacob did when he came in contact with the Angel of the Lord at Bethel (Gen.32: 22-31). People will notice that you are different and will start to ask you questions about the God you serve and have relationship with. When you open your mouth, you can’t help but talk about Him. His praise will continually flow out of your mouth. You’ll see everything through the eyes of love for your Savior, Lord, Friend, and Lover of your soul.

Here’s where the rubber meets the road – As a Worship Leader, are you content with the way in which you lead worship? Are you locked into the tradition of your church denomination, your Pastor, the congregation, deacons or elders? Or do you lead out of your spirit based on truth? As a worshiper, are you in some way like the Samaritan woman content in your worship practices? Do you really know the One that you represent each week and throughout the day? Do you have a life that shows it? The Samaritan woman was sure that her religious practices (including her music) and lifestyle was acceptable to God - until she came face to face with the truth. How will you meet the challenge and raise your standard of worship in your situation and personal life?

Worship Him!
Deu.6:5
