I have been considering a question today: Which is more important, a great worship song, or a great worshipper?
It seems sometimes that a great worship song can get a great response from one corporate setting, and do nothing for another group. There seems to be a disconnect sometimes no matter what songs are being sung.
I guess I just want to say that we do not worship songs, we worship the one that the song was written for. I have heard people say, "That song just doesn't do anything for me", but isn't isn't it about what the song does for the Lord? When we say that, we have the wrong perspective on worship. God doesn't enjoy the song unless someone is singing it! God enjoys YOU more than he enjoys the song.
Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart - 1 Sam. 16:7
Let's make our hearts something that the LORD enjoys looking at!

No Christian Music
This may be a controversial statement, but THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHRISTIAN MUSIC. The only thing that exists is "Christian Lyrics".
I know there are some people out there who do not like certain styles of music because they are afraid that it will not please God.
1 Samuel 16:17 says, "The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart"
God does not look at things the way we do. Do not allow the style of music stop your heart from praising God! There are some songs that I hear on regular radio stations that express my feelings to God. I sing them to him. How is that any less worshipful than Amazing Grace?
How is a piano soloist any more worshipful than an electric guitar solo, drum solo, or even a rap artist? "Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus. " 1 Thess. 5:18 (NIrV)
