It's still very strange to read (and hear about) all the odd ways in letting eachother free (NOT) in how to praise our Lord and Saviour. For some nice thoughts about this subject, read some of one of my soulmates www.robbymac.org. (you are so right, Robby, thanx for your sharing of experiences)
An artist has a free mind, (a very nice present from our Creator) why is it apparantly so difficult for some of them, to see the same need of freedom for others? Aren't we all artists, of life? Are we not made to reflect Gods pluriformity, to show all the sides of our Almighty God? Just by having some gifts and working together?
Why is it that some of us just want to press s'b else in a frame? Is it concern about the salvation of the other? Or is it because 'our way is the only right way'?
The only thing to prevent this attitude is, living very close to God, I think: Praying and especially listening. Sometimes I think: if Jesus would be in our church, would He apply for worshipleader? And IF He did, would He fit our worshipleader-profile? Or would He thunder a 'message from God' from the stage, or try to convince all of us by sitting next to us and tell a story, as He did so often when He was still among us, to let us discover the truth ourselves? Would He apply for an elder? I sometimes get the creeps when I think of Jesus walking into our nowaday life: what would He cry about, that we have a hard time to understand?
What would He say to us?: 'well done, my dear bride!'
I pray for us, to grow in relationship with our Lover!

Beautiful thoughts, oh wise one! Would Jesus apply for any of our ministry positions... wow, now THAT'S an uncomfortable thought...
Would we be embarrassed to even show Him the "job description"?
Good to see you blogging! I'm sure Nirk's blog is equally brilliant, but since I can't read Dutch... :)
And Joda says :) thanx.
I think that we wouldn't be embarrassed to show Him our job descriptions... because:
He probably does fit in most of our images about Him...
and than a terrible question is next:
Would we recognize Him?
