Comments on: Monday Devotions - Rest For Your Soul http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/05/monday-devotion-4/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:39:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jenn Romanski http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/05/monday-devotion-4/#comment-513 Jenn Romanski Fri, 02 Jun 2006 15:03:12 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=159#comment-513 Mr. Kauflin, I wanted to tag team on the comment above that thanked you and Devon for leading worship at Na. I have always found in beautiful when father's and son's have led in corporate worship. Also, I wanted to express gratitude to both you and Josh-Josh for having faith that you would have a song for those who do not have that relationship with their parents and you for of course being led by the Spirit. Everything you said was exactly what I and my church family have been praying over me these past months. Laying down of pride and living humbly. I especially grabbed onto the idea of being a "trophy of grace." Anyways, just wanted to express my deep gratitude for the prophetic song at Na. I know of many others who were just as ministered to as I. Jenn Gainesville, FL Mr. Kauflin,

A verse that I just glanced at was Romans 8:32, which saysin the NASB, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered HIM for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" To go along with Mike Bullmore's outstanding teaching at the New Attitude Conference of linking the gospel with gospel truths and gospel conduct, the effect of the gospel is a sense that we are freely given in Him rest, anxiety through trials, liberation from the power of sin fully displayed at Calvary, and an opportunity to glorify God in our rest! Thank you again for serving so well with worship at Na - the potential to become more passionate for the Savior has grown. What impacted me (apart from the joy of raising our voices to Him) was realizing that your son was also involved with worship; now THAT'S a great father-son activity - leading worship together to glorify God!

This past weekend I battled (and lost) with both legalism and stress. Legalism flowing out of taking a new job and wanting to be sufficient in myself to prove my value/capabilities. Stress from selling my house and moving. God has been gracious to confront and overcome these sins, and this morning reading this verse and devotion caused my soul to long for that intimacy with my Savior who has carried all my sins away completely! I'm amazed! As I read this verse and your comments, I was blown away with the eagerness and accessibility of Jesus to take our burdens.

When you wrote, "He doesn’t want us to prove we can make it on our own, but that we are utterly dependent on Him", my heart shouted a hearty "Amen!" because that is precisely what He's been teaching me of late. I appreciate your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and for reminding us of the rest that is found only in Him. Thanks, Bob! This post really blessed me today.

What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bare! What a mighty, mighty Savior He is! Your brother in Christ, Daniel Kennison Bailey, Michigan p.s. Not knowing if this is the right place to ask this, but not knowing how else to do it, I'd like to ask you a question...... Yesterday in Sunday School class we were talking about the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and someone asked about the appropriateness of singing the song "Create in me a new heart, o Lord", due to the fact that its lyrics quote an OT passage from Psalm 51:11 as David sings "take not your Holy Spirit from me." Would you sing a song like that in congregational or private worship, or would you see it as poor NT theology? In anticipation, thank you for your response. danruthyliz@yahoo.com Dear Brother Bob,
I appreciated your posting today. What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bare! What a mighty, mighty Savior He is!

You have given a very concrete idea of how it is to really "cast our burdens to Jesus" and "finding rest in Him". Most of the time, we say that we offer our burdens to Jesus but then we keep on living without changing our lifestyle. Sometimes we keep on worrying about a lot of things because we can't leave the "worrying" behind. And like what you said, we will find peace and rest if we will only stick with the basics of what Jesus is saying, <i>gentleness and humility of heart</i>. God bless!
