Just thought I would like to share another valuable lesson I learnt today. Today I learnt that another key factor of leading successful worship is CONVICTION. I guess it's the same whether one plays on an instrument or sings with the voice, the element of conviction is key to both personal worship and leading worship from the stage. With that in mind, I've always chosen songs I feel strongly convicted for. Although singing them from the stage with equal conviction all the time is altogether a different story.
An attentive audience will share the same unnerving anxiety with the nervous emcee, yet conversely feel at home with the witty humour from a host at ease. The situations are different, yet the principles are the same. The audience are listening.
Today if you are in a band, or hope to be in one, are your songs prayers played out from the depths of your conviction or simply musical masterpieces from the latest Christian hits? On the stage, are you preoccupied with getting those rifts right and high notes pitch perfect, rather than knowing its your heart that God sole desires, and delights in? Technical perfection aside, conviction leaves room open for God's intervention and divine power which even the most perfect play cannot bring about. For in the eyes of God, your symphonic perfection is always less than your simple conviction.
