Spirit and Truth
Worship is a topic that pushes a lot of hot buttons in the church today. Is it a style of music? Is it certain instrumentation? Is it the way it makes you feel? I’ve been part of a worship team of some sort for more than two decades and I am sad to say, the debate spans the entire twenty years. Here’s what I have learned.
