I really enjoyed this April entry from the blog "Stuff Christians Like": When Worship Songs Go Blank
It reminds me of the one-year period where basically it was me vs. the audio AND visual equipment. A fellow worship leader at church suggested the equipment might have been demon-possessed, and after awhile, I really considered that possibility. In the end, it was a good character building experience that every musician faces at one point or another, but on a spiritual level, reminded me that our worship experience is more than the lights and the sound, and comes back to the heart.
Also, here's a bonus image taken during Sunday afternoon rehearsal back in the Spring:
I remember when I was taught that everything around me was demon possessed. Rock n' Roll = possessed, Television shows that didn't encourage the gospel= possessed, Women with make up(wearing business casual clothing and pants...regular pants not revealing ones) = possessed, men with beards = possessed and so on and so on. I came to a conclusion that not everything was possessed, in fact it just meant that they didn't have Jesus. Or that they had Jesus but had chosen to look like everyday people. ...I don't know why I wanetd to share that....
