Comments on: Worship Service - Idolatry on Sunday Mornings, Pt. 7 http://www.worshipmatters.com/2005/12/worship-service-idolatry-on-sunday-mornings-part-7/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:09:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Brittany G http://www.worshipmatters.com/2005/12/worship-service-idolatry-on-sunday-mornings-part-7/#comment-90 Brittany G Thu, 29 Dec 2005 16:56:39 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=53#comment-90 Ooh, that question "Did that sound ok?" really hit home. I've been guilty of that and it seems innocent enough as if we want advice but underneath we want applause. Thanks for that post because it was really convicting.

This idol of reputation is so insidious. It can hide in the loftiest intentions. I often don't know how to respond when someone thanks me for using my talents in the church service. I used to say "Oh, you can't thank me, it's God who does it all anyway." Then a mentor pointed out that over self-deprication is also sinful, especially when someone goes out of their way to give you a word of encouragement (something that God asks us to do for one another). I've been working on just offering a simple "thank you." Patrick Bob,

Though I don't lead in worship per say, I play the drums for my church in Louisville. I find it too easy at times to wonder if others notice a fill I just played; it's also easy to fish for comments by asking "Did that sound okay?" etc. I pray that each time I play, my attitude is to serve the Lord, not to receive the accolades of others.
