Well it has been a while since I been up on here. I think people are waiting for me to post something great. I am still living away from home and it has been great.
In Wednesday night class we talked about "Discipline of Worship". I liked the topic and whats funny is I have been thinking about that for a while. There is someone i know that hinders my worship and i know it shouldn't but then again it does. I know for a fact that other people are disturbed too. God does not care does he on how we worship cause he see us trying to pour our heart mind soul in to him. Then the question comes up when do we say "hey, dude you are hindering me". Is that wrong to say?

I think the scriptural answer is, "God cares very much that we worship Him in the manner that he dictates."
Posted by: Carl at September 27, 2007 8:57 PMThat's a toughy. The only thing I can think of that fits what you're talking about is if you have a bad relationship with someone, you've tried to make it better, but they're not willing. It can be tough to worship people that don't have the spirit of brothers and sisters that we should have.
Maybe some other people could keep you from worshiping in a particular way that you want to, but like you said, what God is most interested in is our hearts being poured out to Him.
So, what kind of things can a person do that hinder your worship?
Posted by: Dale at October 1, 2007 8:27 AMWell. Some of the stuff that affects everyone and not only me is...off-key-rythem-singing. I know he is singing his heart out but all you can hear is him and not the song leader. And sometimes there are extra words he puts in the songs itself. I deal with it the best i can and so does other people but it gets to the point that people stop singing and laugh. Thoughts?
Posted by: Megs at October 8, 2007 10:09 AMFirst of all, some of the responsibility lays on the people who stop praising to laugh. Of course, it can be pretty tough to focus sometimes when you've got major distractions. Assuming this guy can read & use his mind well, somebody could quietly take him aside and ask him to focus on singing along with the group, whether that means the same words or the same tune. A bad voice or bad rhythm are understandable and things that we all have to live with, but I think a solo artist can be lovingly, quietly encouraged to join the group again.
Those are my humble suggestions.
Posted by: Dale at November 1, 2007 3:06 AMWell all that is taken care of right now. The last person to step up to talk to him got him to understand. All is well.
