I am still crackin away at the “it” book and its still a good book. It’s really making me think about relationship among the worship team. In the few years I’ve been in/around ministry I’ve talked and heard others talk about the importance of praying for one another, the benefits of bleeding for one another, etc. I’ve even had that talk with the current worship team, but it really is hard to teach relationship. I am reminded that as a culture we are really seperated from most relationships we have. They are weekly greetings, acquantance type relationships, and obviously not everyone experiences this, but I’d like to hear someone try to defend the view that if we did not have cell phones growing on our ears, email and text addictions, etc. we would have much stronger, deeper bonds with one another. This is important because people are able to hide their issues/problems easier, worship teams can show up, practice, perform, and go home kinda feeling connected because at least we’ll email sometime this week, cowards can hide behind computers and fail to have meaningful conversations, and get away with crap that they couldn’t face to face, all because we are surrounded by electronic connections.
Don’t get me wrong, we have taken productivity and sharing the gospel, sharing information, and long-distance relationships to a whole nother level, however we have deceived ourselves into thinking that we can go to the same level relationally without taking the time to talk, and argue, and be vulnerable face to face. This does matter. That’s what I’m realizing, but I also realize that this can’t really be taught. Crap…
