Coming back to the topic of worship, here's what I thought was a great article. Much thanks to Seri for introducing the online magazine website to me through another great article on the same topic. It seems like the American church right now is at a point of re-evaluation, and I'm loving it. For so long, we've been "satisfied" with a worship band, a worship leader, guitars, a piano, and if possible a bass and a drum set. I think we've finally gotten to point where we're seriously pondering the words of the Matt Redman song "The Heart of Worship." What does it mean to have a heart of worship... especially after the music fades? How do we have that heart of worship when we're not singing?

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about you Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

Isaiah 66:1-2
