That didn't sit right with me because I think we are to WORSHIP God. The worship leader was always trying to get us to "loosen up" and get wound up. She said it "bothers her to look out and see the congregation not worshipping God". I more or less told her that when I worship, I don't watch to see if the congregation is jumping or whatever, that I close my eyes, raise my hands if that is the way I feel I should worship, and worship God. Not every person worships God in the same way. Anyway---I don't think that our worship is supposed to be a performance for God--just heartfelt, personal worship.

At the same time, we have the responsibility to develop and use our gifts and talents to the best of our hability, not for our own satisfaction but to offer Him the very best, trusting Him to work through it to minister to people. excellent video and I completely agree with you… worship is an expresion of the heart therefore it cannot be staged or performed… is telling God how much He means to us and how much we love Him, praising Him for who He is.
