God Centered Here is the question that has challenged me recently. How many songs do we sing that are just about God and do not bring us into the story. How much is God not only the object but also the centre of our worship? I am sure we need to sing more songs…
Passing On The Baton Of Faith (Part 2) Remember in part 1 we spoke about the intensity of the battle. We have an enemy who will do anything he can to prevent us from fulfilling our purpose, including intercepting the baton at the point of transfer. We mentioned that great havoc was…
Fee Steve Fee remembers standing on a stage before his high-school peers with little musical ability and even less worship leading experience. How times change. Since the early days, he's been featured at Passion and Catalyst conferences, at 7:22, and…
The Unsatisfied Worshipper As worshippers of Jesus Christ, we live in the tension of the 'now' and the 'not yet'. From the day we received Him, our souls found their destiny and reason. The reality of His love and presence invaded our hearts, and we found fulfilment. The…
Amazing Grace Sunday: February 18, 2007 Two hundred years ago, British politician William Wilberforce and his band of loyal friends took on the most powerful forces of their day to end the slave trade. His mentor was John Newton, the slave-trader-turned-song-writer, who wrote the world's…
Born With Purpose Never in history has there existed so many products and services marketed in getting people to buy what they need or at least what they "think" they need. Granted, the majority of the products we find are useful in helping us be more efficient with…
Q & A With Peter Furler Q: So there was a point when you felt, or your wife felt, that you weren't cut out for marriage? A: I'm not exempt from the attacks - that same force that comes against everything that the Kingdom of God stands for, and a marriage is part of the…
Believe A worship album featuring Brian Doerksen, David Ruis, Daphne Rademaker, Graham Ord, Angie VanDeMark, Ron & David Wilding, Melissa Boraski and Brenda Janz. In recording this album, we have attempted to document worship songs that God has birthed in…
Billions Of Lead Worshippers Humility and worship are inseparable. That's why the most effective lead worshippers bear the marks of genuine humility in their souls. Not a false or hollow humility, the kind we pretend to have because we know we should. But, a true view of self…
Once Again: The Story Behind The Song I love Brian Doerksen's description of what makes a great worship song - "a universal theme, expressed in a unique way". I try and run every song I write through that grid. When it comes to universal themes, there's none greater than the cross.…
Gifted Response (We Will Worship You) Two themes run through this song. Firstly, that worship is a 'gifted response'. We cannot do it in our own strength, or offer it by our own merits. Anything we ever bring to God belongs to Him in the first place. If we sing a song to Him, he gave us…
May The Words Of My Mouth So often as Christians we can get caught up in the external things. We can feel like the more meetings we turn up to the better, the more times we lead worship the closer to God we'll be. However...
