What are the music standards?
Music should glorify God and be a direct reflection of the life of a Spirit-filled believer. Songs or styles which are strongly identified with unbiblical movements or worldly practices are not allowed (Romans 12:1-2). Such music includes rock, rap, country, new age, jazz, and any "Christian" music that borrows these styles (I John 2:15 ). We do not wish to lead students toward music which is questionable or which might violate believers' consciences.
Seriously? How far can I carry a cup of water on the Sabbath, oh Bearded Ones?
In other news...
- Here's a shout out to some people who really stepped up this week: Nicole H, Trevor T, & Mark S... you guys rock, literally! I arrived at rehearsal Sunday am only to quickly realize I could not sing a note. Nicol stepped up to lead and Mark did a fantastic job changing keys at the last minute. Trevor smiled and rolled with the whole thing. Thanks, team... you're the best!
- GREAT time in Granger, IN last week attending the First Impressions and Lasting Impressions workshops, both led by Mark Waltz. He has written books by the same names. READ THEM if you serve a church and think that people matter!! Much love to my traveling buddy (and driver) Chad W.
- Looking forward to the Bob Castelline band leading worship at Crossroads on Dec 6. I'm not going to preach or speak or anything... just going to worship and enjoy!
- November 29th we begin the Advent Conspiracy. So cool! We're not just "remembering the reason for the season." We're remembering the reason we exist... Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More and Love All. Hope you'll join me!

Sounds like they are trying to take the place of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christian. That's very legalistic.
