Musicians Serve Deeper

I have served churches for decades… so I thought. Honestly, I have never really truly known service until I have now when as I where to mantle of shepherd. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t say that to insult or diminish the importance or major work that my brother and sister minstrels put in week after week. But I do want to charge you to look beyond the keys and cymbals to how you can possibly serve the church on a deeper level. The main thing to remember is that no matter if you are playing the tambourine or leading praise and worship you are a minister. To minister means to serve. In service you have to put your agenda on the back burner. Musicianship is a position of submission. There is usually a leader to follow who prayerfully is following the lead of the Holy Spirit. Serve by full submission. Give yourself fully to the vision of the church and leading of the pastor and whomever is in charge. Music is about harmony. Harmony is created through the use of simultaneous pitches, tones, notes and chords. Everything must work together for the greater good. Musicians are important. We need you. Don’t let anyone make you feel any differently. Seek God for your ultimate calling. Serve God with all your heart, soul and mind. <h4>There is no church without you.</h4> The post <a href="http://ift.tt/1udVT3q" rel="nofollow">Musicians Serve Deeper</a> appeared first on <a href="http://ift.tt/1AxaMgG" rel="nofollow">Pastor Terrell L</a>. </div>

Looking for “The One”

But more and more I realize that it’s not about finding “the one” but BEING “the one”. As I always say, before you walk down the aisle to say “I do,” be sure you know who “I” is. Know yourself. The more you know yourself, the more likely the man or woman you find will love you for who you are. My advice: Singles, in your pursuit for a husband or wife focus less on developing a long list of qualifications for him or her and concentrate on the qualities which will make you a truly significant other. Here are five substantial ways to BE “THE ONE”: <a href="http://ift.tt/1x2AkFp"><img alt="be open - Looking for “The One” - Pastor Terrell L http://ift.tt/1AxaMgG" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-735" data-recalc-dims="1" src="http://ift.tt/1s2ulII"/> </a>1. Be open. Don’t be so rigid in your views and opinions that you block opportunities for growth. 2. Be vulnerable. We all have been hurt. Create purpose from your pain. Don’t be afraid to gift trust and try it again. 3. Do the work. Relationships can be fun but they also take hard work. Be willing to negotiation. Develop your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://ift.tt/SQQxYo" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Communication">communication skills</a>. Let go of the past. Invest in yourself every day. 4. Get out there. Be findable. Destiny is not gonna come knocking down your door. Shake off the shyness and step it up. 5. Know yourself. Marriage is merging of values. Be fully aware of the treasures and troubles you bring to the table. I have concluded that there is such thing as “the one.” It’s you. Get prepare to be “the one” for a special someone.
