Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by this blog. The idea for this originated after I attended the Worship God 06 Conference at CLC and wanted to apply the material from the conference with friends and members of our worship team. After posting this, I'm not sure what I'll be writing about, other than to point people to God in any way I can. I don't consider myself a writer like my wife Danielle is, but maybe this blog will be a good place to learn!

To briefly highlight Worship God 06....it was an incredible four days of learning and reflecting about God's presence. Danielle and I were specifically ministered to by all of the times of corporate worship and the outstanding messages. The highlight for me was Jeff Purswell's message on Wednesday night entitled "A People of God's Presence." He humbly stated that he was just setting the table for the other speakers to deliver the feast, but in my opinion, this was a bit of an understatement! He brought the truth of God's word to me as a banquet, and when He started reading in Revelation near the close of his message, I had goosebumps from the excitement of the reality I was hearing. So, I'll get to that message on the next post, and I can't wait to hear what God was speaking to you too. Another highlight was meeting new people from other churches across the country and catching up with friends. What an edifying and encouraging time we had! I'm thankful to Sovereign Grace Ministries for giving Bob Kauflin the task of leading worship development, and for his kind heart to serve God's church in this way. Also, I'm grateful for those who led the seminars I attended (Todd Twining, Ken Boer, Jon Payne, Bob Kauflin, and Mark Mullery). They all taught with humility and grace, and I can't wait to revisit their material! CLC did a wonderful job of hosting this event; their facilities and welcome was "top shelf" and internet access in the lobby was icing on the cake. So, if this has intrigued you, you may like to read on to hear more details, or you can check out Tim Challis' blog or Worship Matters if you like.
