True Worshippers

I especially like this line:
I think, Sondra, in a sense we ARE worshippers when we are made alive in Christ...but very unskilled ones. I've never met a new believer that didn't want to worship the Lord. But just like a baby learns to walk and gets better and more graceful at it the more practice he gets, we as worshippers progress along a similar path.
I also agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with the last statement you quoted as well:
I guess many leaders either don't think about it at all, or they think it is like breathing...you will just do it naturally and sufficiently enough to stay alive. But that is far from true. Dean and I believe the best way to teach about worship is to point people to the scriptures about it and then model it. That way it is not only taught, but CAUGHT.
[PS. I'm moving this thread to the worship discussion forum, but I'll leave the link here for a while so you can find it again!]
