GOD DOESN'T SHARE HIS GLORY I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols. Isaiah 42:8 Christian music veteran Michael W. Smith stated that "the Lord doesn't share His glory with anybody," warning worship leaders to avoid celebrity culture and keep the focus entirely on God during the worship service. Smith said he's concerned about what happens when the person leading worship becomes more visible than the God being worshiped. “I just think we have to be careful that this thing is not celebrity-driven,” Smith told The Christian Post. “We can all say, ‘Well, oh, we’re doing it all for Him.’ But you watch social media, and it’s just a little me-focused.” Perhaps, he added, modern worship has also “lost the reverence.” Applause and attention can distract artists and cause them to lose their sense of reverence. Leaders should "kind of disappear" instead of building a personal performance platform. Smith says he prays to be clothed in humility before taking the stage. If we really want to experience God's Presence during worship, Christians needs to take this advice to heart also. When we come to worship God in humility with a prepared heart, He is more than willing to meet with us. You can read more at the |
