Worry Free Worship

When was the last time you attended worship? Not when was the last time you were with people worshiping, but when was the last time you were worshiping. I know that as a children's minister I have the tendency to let the ministry control my mind on Sundays. Because of this, I am not always worshiping even though I give that appearance. And before we started an 8:00 service, I didn't attend at all.

Tonight I attended the David Crowder concert. And the nicest thing about it was that I got to worship without a radio bud in my ear, or one eye on the paging system, or the worry that someone was texting to let me know they wouldn't be there to teach. I got to go to worry free worship.

Now I know that isn't available consistently, even at our 8:00 service there is a nursery I have in the back of my mind during church, but it is important to have these moments of uninhibited worship. Even if it means taking a mini vacation once a quarter to a church with Saturday night service or going to a conference that just never seemed to be a priority, worry free worship is an important part of our spiritual health as a person, and as a minister.

So when is your next worship session?
