Some suggestions (sarcasms) for worship leaders:

• Singing a song over and over and over does not mean you are being prophetic. Know when to move on.
• A full sound doesn’t invite the Holy Spirit. Enjoy periodic simplicity.
• Back away from your microphone at times to encourage congregational singing. Your voice does not sustain the presence of God.
• Just because you are the worship leader doesn’t mean you are exempt from worshiping.
• Constantly remind yourself that your main purpose is not simply to sound awesome.
• Becoming Chris Tomlin should not be your goal as a worship leader. Serve your local church and invest in the people.
• People connect with a worship leader who worships. Don’t be preoccupied with impressing people.
• Engage your heart and your congregation beyond the song. Help them to realize the presence of God.
• Your talent is not greater than God’s glory. Don’t act like it is.
• Behold the Glory of God when you’re off the stage. Stop looking in the mirror.
• There will always be a more talented person than you. Don’t ever give up.
• Focus on your heart. Trendy clothes and weird hair is OK, but not essential.
