I have been sensing a growing disconnect or rift in the worship team. The only way to describe it is disunity. We do not seem to share the same mind. However, even more than philosophy or doctrine, which we are all so wonderfully and needfully instructed in by our pastor, I believe this is related to simply not fellowshipping together. We come in for sound check, often late, rehearse, then scurry about finishing final preparations for service, getting coffee, or getting kids to class. We flock to those we are comfortable with and segment off.
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. - Acts 2:42
The Lord has been faithful, for His Name's sake, to place His anointing upon us during worship so that we present Him an offering of praise as one voice/instrument. Nevertheless, we lack the togetherness and cohesiveness of friendship, the genuine concern and respect for one another that comes from spending time together.
I pray that everyone will make it a priority to
1) be early for rehearsals and sound checks to allow for sharing and talking,
2) make the Worship Fellowships & BBQs mandatory events for yourself, and
3) commit to praying for each other.
This a heavy insight for me as well, as I have modeled this for you all. However, it should not be so. May we all endeavor to give our Great Savior our best, and we can not give Him our best divided. (Ephesians 5:9-21, Philippians 2:1-21, 1 John 1:7, 1 Corinthians 1:9-13)
