First off - Ian's point below is spot on about listening to the Holy Spirit and taking cues from Him. You need to hear what He's saying and be carefully obedient, not from fear of failure, but from…"

Diana Jurss replied to Verah Vashti Okeyo's discussion 'How do you read distress in a congregation'"I'm thinking that what is also very important is to interact and be friendly and interested in the people of your
congregation in addition to just during the service. Talk with them before and after, ask questions and get to
know them as…"
Ian Stevens replied to Verah Vashti Okeyo's discussion 'How do you read distress in a congregation'"First thing, I know this sounds like a cliche but, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit when choosing songs from your repertoire or adding to it. You probably have a mix of age groups and a mix of tastes in Worship songs in the congregation, but…"

I have been in colege ministry, and now that am out of the school setting and is now a worship leader in a bigger church and a bigger town In college, it was kinda easy to predict what songs would be appropriate for the lot because I was a student too, and for the four years, I was going trough every other thing the christian union was going trough. But now, in this main church, I get to the pulpit and I feel resistance. sometimes they just do not respond to the songs... I was wondering,…See More

Charles Wolff replied to Verah Vashti Okeyo's discussion 'The relationship between secular music and a worshipper's dwindling star'"To get a little perspective here, VVO is in Kenya, and, culturally, may be facing some distinctions between secular and Christian music that we in the U.S. aren't bothered by... here in the U.S., we tend to place a lot of importance on musical…"
Stevo replied to Verah Vashti Okeyo's discussion 'The relationship between secular music and a worshipper's dwindling star'"The truly discerning person can tell what is good and bad without the broad brush. It opens you up to learning all kinds of things - like Solomon did. It was he who encouraged us to look at everything around us and see God's wisdom in it."
"Consider "Help" the Beatles song can you see a christian view:

Stevo replied to Verah Vashti Okeyo's discussion 'The relationship between secular music and a worshipper's dwindling star'"A truly discerning person can benefit from anything.

The Gentleman Behind My Music
Posted on April 28, 2010 at 7:23am 3 Comments 0 Likes
I really know this for sure: That Verah Vashti is just an ordinary woman. I am just pretty, nothing you can turn your head to look at. And I am comfortable this way. I do not have many vibratoes in my voice. Infact I do not understand why I am the worship leader of a church of more than 1500 congregants at my age. I see the people I work with and I marvel at their knowledge in music and the tact they have a bout worship and praising God through music. Whenevr I go to the pulpit, the…

- Hello Verah, thanks for adding me as friend. Iam blessed with the ministy your doing in Naivasha and i've began praying for you cause your ministry is a threat in the other kingdom of darkness. Iam also praying that more and more you will see the manifest presence of God in your meetings. God bless you.

- Glad you liked the song. It's a fun one to do!
Yes, we lived and worked up north in Lokichogio with the Turkana tribe - a very hot and dry place as you know. We came down to the lodge at Naivasha for a holiday and saw thousands of flamingos and other birds - it was great! Would love to come back one day.

- Thanks for the friend request, Verah - glad to accept. I don't remember if I mentioned this already, but my wife and I spent a couple of years in Kenya many years ago, and I especially remember seeing some great wildlife around Lake Naivasha. A Cape Buffalo tried to charge my land rover!
God bless.
Rick
