For God's sake don't forget this!!!
Our job is to glorify God. I think you all know that rite?
But remember, the devil, has a good bait in front of your eyes.
I am not tryin to be crazily sensitive... but listen. He had the bait of fame, self glory, money, and the opposite sex.
When you sing, drum, strum in a band. Make sure that God is glorified. Do not glorify yourself. God had seen what you done and will surely reward you. His reward of fame is far better then what the world, and satan has to offer.
When you worship in a band. remember not to glorify yourself. God must be glorified. The center of attention must be on him. Remember, he is the cause of the band. That does not mean that you cannot have your own band's style, that does not mean that you cannot sing too well, that does not mean that your actions cannot be too elaborate. Who ever said so?
What it means is that, do not take the glory of God to yourself. Do not publicize your band, and forget God. Do not praise God with the music. But from your heart. And dont get me wrong, i never said using music to praise God is bad. It is that, praise God, focus on him. Dont be too distracted. Do something for God! By playin in a band you are already doin something.
But remember this. Whatever crazy stuff you do, in any degree, in a band. Remember to glorify him, and let the glory be with him. We are only to tell the world about him man. What the Lord has to offer is better than what the world has to offer.
That doesnt mean that you cannot jump off the stage into the crowd after your performance. That does not mean that you cannot play drums with hands flying around your body.
But, let the glory and focus be on God, so that seeds are planted. I mean when you are playin worship songs to praise the Lord. Do it from your heart, not for yourself. For God. To worship him. Focus is on him.
