The Beat Goes On

It has been awhile since I last posted. We are still in the midst of searching for employment and adjusting to new surroundings. God is faithful and He continues to sustain us and provide for us during this time.

One of the good things that is happening is that I have been able to spend time with Shelly and Kara. They may be getting tired of me being around so much but it is still good to be here with them. The other benefit of this time is that we are getting an opportunity to visit a variety of churches. Having been involved in direct leadership in church ministry for so long, this time has been good so that I might get a new perspective on church life and specifically on worship services. We have gone to churches that were very liturgical in their music style to a church that had a concert feel during the singing and a smoke machine. The lyrics to the songs were biblical and were helpful but the styles have been extremely different.

This has been a reminder that the worship of God is not dependent on musical style but on truth. Scripture is clear when Jesus told the woman at the well that those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and truth.

So the beat goes on and we continue to follow the Lord and seek to honor Him in all things. We seek to surrender each day to His leadership, die to self and let His life live through us.
