I wish more worship leaders...Oh man, this is good. I wish more worship leaders had the guts to talk about this because it's there. We live in a culture where talent is constantly compared to other talent, judged, and then given the big prize. I had a really hard time after four years of high school contests -- getting rid of that competitive edge. I wanted to be the best, period. I still definitely struggle with that inner attitude to this day.<BR/><BR/>But I think it all starts with those thoughts. Like when I hear a great vocalist, I need to think, "Wow, God has really gifted that person and He gets the credit. That person is a brother or sister and we can lift up Christ's name together."Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14195076731575607511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19847767.post-1162002824617021132006-10-27T21:33:00.000-05:002006-10-27T21:33:00.000-05:00Competition huh?i see what you are saying about it...Competition huh?<BR/>i see what you are saying about it being good in some instances because it has caused the weaker to step up. But i think it rears its ugly head when pride is the issue. The bad competition is the "i'm better, it should be me" mindset. and sometimes the "I really thought I was better, so whats the deal?" mindset. Thats what we all have to keep a check on, and remember what the heck we are doing in the first place...worshipping the living God...not ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19847767.post-1161918258229452472006-10-26T22:04:00.000-05:002006-10-26T22:04:00.000-05:00...and the can of worms is opened! Good stuff. Can......and the can of worms is opened! Good stuff. Can I "compete" without coveting? Is it possible to remove the element of a "prize" from competition? What is that prize in the context of worship? Can we "compete" for the betterment of the team? Maybe there's a sweet spot in spurring one another on that stops just short of competing. Where encouragement runs really hot, but doesn't covet another's progress.Cokenourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345568618509161778noreply@blogger.com
