The "Lead Worshipper" vs. The "Worship Leader"

When Jesus was asked what was the "greatest commandment" of all, he replied, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30) That sums up all that we are called to be as believers in Jesus, and the primary focus of our lives. That why we're here. As worship leaders, we're called to assist others in that pursuit. Our own worship life doesn't always reflect that. We've got to get our "loves straight" in order to get our lives straight to be able to motivate and encourage others in expressing their love to God. We're called not just to direct worship, but to model it as "lead worshippers."
