Bob Kauflin-Worship Director for Sovereign Grace Ministries-just turned 55 and offered 9 reflections, one of which I thoroughly enjoyed:
6. Worship leaders can be cool. Biblical worship can’t be.
By nature, “cool” describes something that the world esteems as hip, desirable, elitist, and perhaps elusive. Biblical worship is very un-hip, hated by the world’s value system, and a gracious gift from God to those he has redeemed. It involves magnifying the glory of Christ and minimizing our own glory. It means acknowledging our sinfulness before a holy God, expressing gratefulness for the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ for our sins, and responding in humble obedience to his commands. All very uncool activities. So, no need to worry that I’m twice as old as a lot of the people I lead corporate worship with.
ALSO, Bob Kauflin just so happens to be the artist behind the greatest worship CD I own. CHECK IT
