What is our aroma?
I met with a guy that I’ve come to respect more and more as a worship leader over the past 6-7 months for coffee this morning. He leads at a church in Raleigh called Vintage21 that has been around for 6-7 years. What I love so much about the way he leads worship is that he and the band fade into the background. No matter how loud or how soft, they are never a distraction to the real object of our devotion. He has a great post on his blog that I think all worship leaders should read. It ends with a question we should all ask…everyday.
What would happen if people woke up on Sunday, prayed and spent time meditating on God’s word, repented, and thanked God?
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.” – Philippians 4:4
Also, read Hebrews 12:18-29.
My prayer is that our worship would be a pleasing aroma that rises up from children who love and honor the One that gave everything for them. Thanks for the great post Matt.
2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.
