I have the privilege of ministering in many different streams of the church. When you do that you're never going to subscribe to everything each other believe, but there's always so much common ground. The main and plain stuff you have in common, so you build upon that. I've never found a stream of the church I didn't learn something from. Every single time, even if I didn't personally agree with everything, there was something I took away, or learned, and felt like a stronger worshipper or worship leader.

In some of the best worship songs we bring our praises to God - yet at the same time also end up preaching to ourselves.

In heaven we will sing free of all the shame, sickness and sorrow that we encounter in the here and now.

Worship songs can't just be rooted in culture - they won't be deep enough. They have to be rooted in scripture.

An old pop music producer once said that there are really only four kinds of song a person can write: "I love you/I hate you/go away/come back!" That's a funny observation.

I love the intensity of the Psalms. No-one ever sounds bored about God or about life in the Psalms.

God first seeks devotion to Him in the hidden place–worship when no one else is watching.
