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.
