Biblical Worship » Worship Leader – Musician or Minister?.
Churches who advertise and hire ”music directors” instead of worship pastors are setting themselves up for a spiritually shallow program with possibly good music but little spiritual fruit. What is good music without the passion of the Gospel? It is a concert. It is entertainment. I love beautiful music but in the Kingdom’s work, we are to be about the business of impacting lives with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Can we have both? Yes – excellence in all things and all things to the Glory of God, but we must start with a worship leader who is called to be a minister of the Gospel. Pastoral worship leadership should never be sacrificed on the altar of “beautiful music.”
where is worship leader pastor in the bible? when did it become necessary to lead worship, use bands, sing professionally writen songs, and turn it all into a vocation? when did it become necessary to have conferences and seminars to learn how to do worship leading correctly and better? when did worship leaders begin needing therapy and sabaticals?
