Worship: The Next Step

Worship is a staple in most churches. As music, it has been used for centuries as a way to glorify God.
The normal worship scene consists of a band playing a number of songs a few times over and the congregation singing along.
But there is a new wave of worship leaders who are starting to experiment with the next phase of worship.

The original form of worship was not what you see thesedays. It was using the talents that God gave you in whatever way you could to glorify Him. Whether that was playing an instrument or using your mind to design something, as long as it was done for His glory, then that is considered praise.

The new evolution of worship is just that; using whatever talents God gave you to praise Him publicly. My ideal worship would be this: a worship band playing songs that come from the heart, not practiced and pre-chosen weeks before, leading the people and not playing for themselves. This all surrounded by people praising God in other ways: painting as they embrace the music, digital graphics done on a screen, perhapse a sculpter moulding a peice of clay into an abstract that portrays how he feels about the song.

Worship need originality, creativity and passion. Its coming to the next step.
