Being Unprepared for Worship

During Pastor Darin's sermon at Christ's Church yesterday, he made an emphasis on Daniel's preparation for prayer in the beginning of Daniel 9, noting that it affected the way Daniel prayed, and most likely the way he was able to receive a response from God. Certainly something for us to reflect upon and model in our own prayer lives.

I've heard the same point about preparation made in regards to corporate worship. This is another short clip from Tom Kraeuter, where he speak to our unpreparedness in worship. I've heard this point about being unprepared for worship made many times, and have heard some of the same analogies that are made in this video clip. I think the point is that regardless of how many times we've heard it, we still need the reminder, I know I do.

The Cows Are in the Corn

A humorous comparison of hymns vs. praise choruses which should be appreciated by those of us who have had to deal with this particular battle.
