Leaders are Readers - Doxology and Theology

6/12/2020

At first glance this book looks like it's written for the person in a worship service who sings, encourages others to participate, and can play the rhythm on guitar (or piano or without instruments). If you know me at all, you know there is nothing in that list I can do. And that's the problem that Boswell and the contributors are addressing. At the core of this compilation of pastoral essays on worship is a fundamental belief that the way a church worships is inseparable from its theological foundation and conviction. It's why I believe that the pastoral leadership of the church should be invested and involved in the planning and execution of corporate worship. It's not a separation where the music guys handle this part and the preaching guys handle that part.

That's why I, as a lead pastor, was so grateful for this work. It shows that our fundamental understanding of worship leadership is more than being able to regurgitate CCM Top 40 stuff or that you can dink out a few hymns on a keyboard. It's a responsibility that involves the faith formation of the local church, and pragmatically shows when we realize that in many of our churches our worship leadership is more visible than the preaching leadership. So when we as lead pastors work with the worship leadership in our churches, we have to see ourselves as both partners and complements to one another.

Worship leaders, I would commend this book to all of you. Beyond the practicality of gathering for worship and working through a service and its importance, this has a lot to say about your heart, your own personal devotion, your family, and your relationship with your lead pastor. Anytime I see staff/team dynamics pop up in a book, I'm hooked. I believe that chemistry and team dynamics are a missing ingredient in far too many of our churches, which is why Boswell's work and others are so crucial for us to read and consider because they show that team-based ministry is both fruitful and healthy (and biblical).

If I were to draw out five practical takeaways from this, and share them with worship leaders, here's what they'd be:

1. Reevaluate your responsibility in light of the Gospel calling on your life - Don't see yourself as a performer or a "lead worshipper," see yourself as a pastor shepherding God's people towards the Throne. Off stage, that also means seeing that God has called you to a local church as a pastor/shepherd, not a hired hand. Embrace pastoral care, nursing home visits, administration, and serving across the board.

2. Develop a relationship with your pastor - The person you'll work closest with is the lead/senior pastor in your church. Cultivate a relationship with him, work on a friendship, get to know him, go out for lunch, accompany him on visits to the hospital, and regularly pray with/for him. Because the two of you are the most visible people in a worship service, friction is going to be obvious.

3. Build worship services around Revelation and Response - Revelation is where God speaks to us through His Word, and Response is where we, in light of that, respond to what He has done. That can be praise, adoration, confession, repentance, lament, commitment, and trust. We do a disservice to both the witness of Scripture and the reality of human experience when everything about our worship service is designed to produce shiny happy people (thank you REM) who just walk around saying "Saved glad and happy!" all the time.

4. Raise up others - Developing others in ministry is more than getting people to fill spots, but intentionally investing in them for future deployment. That means we don't just pick people who can play the right instruments on the right notes, but we identify people who have potential for leadership on their own. Think about it in your own life along those lines. At some point you were brought along to grow as a leader. Who is in your ministry now who you could elevate and disciple?

5. Pursue humility - Humility is hard for all of us. No one is exempt from the trapping and allure of notoriety. As awesome as a platform and Twitter followers might be, nothing can surpass "Well done good and faithful servant." Humility is the guard against us falling too much in love with ourselves. Ground yourself daily in the Word. Develop accountability. Invite people into your life. Be gracious with correction and constructive feedback.

CRYPTO RECOVERIES AND OTHER TROUBLESHOOTS.


Outside various bitcoin online trading communities...
we are strictly rendering fast help to those bitcoin online investors facing various issues

left unattended by their wallet accounts SERVICE PROVIDER (team supports),leaving you hanging and lost on how to go about getting help. 

EG:

BLOCKSTREAM (blockchain)

Blockstream employs a number of prominent bitcoin core developers and is one of the largest 

contributors of the software's funding.The company has been attempting to make it possible 

to "break off" transactions from the bitcoin network,

making the number of "REGISTERED ACCOUNT’S TROUBLESHOOT TICKETS” the network 

could handle less important and most time not even looked into as there are 

millions of “REQUEST TICKETS” on the team supports cue.



"BE SMART ENOUGH”, to know these companies don’t even care if ONE out of more than a million customers they got is in need of support after getting scammed and etc.

for example:


1️⃣ NONSPENDABLE BITCOIN ACTIVATION! 


2️⃣STOLEN BITCOIN$(fake FX trading platforms)! 



3️⃣LOST PASSWORD GLITCH! 



4️⃣TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATOR PROBLEMS! 



5️⃣LOST ID OR PASSWORD GLITCH! 



6️⃣HACKED ACCOUNTS ! 



7️⃣ RECOVERY OF CRYPTO (BINARY LOSSES & STOLEN FUNDS) 


8️⃣PHISHING OF BITCOIN ACCOUNTS PROBLEM! 



9️⃣LOGIN ERORS! 



10.SCAMMED DURING BITCOIN TRADINGS (WITHDRAWAL ISSUES). 



cases like these get your crypto funds trapped (likely lost forever,until you meet the right agents like "US").


NOTE:
COINBASE/TEAM-SUPPORT

BINANCE/TEAM-SUPPORT

KRAKEN/TEAM-SUPPORT

BITFINEX/TEAM-SUPPORT

HITBTC/TEAM-SUPPORT

LOCALBITCOIN/TEAM-SUPPORT

BLOCKCHAIN/TEAM-SUPPORT

team supports listed and ones not listed above can’t solve your problem 100%.
