BONUS SHORT — When Worship Becomes Performance

Too often, what we are exposed to is performance, not worship.

A person can sing beautifully, preach powerfully, serve faithfully, and still be losing intimacy with God privately. Spiritual gifts may continue functioning even while the heart is becoming weary, familiar, and disconnected from the presence that once gave the ministry life.

This bonus short from When the Strong Get Tired challenges us to examine the difference between performing for people and ministering from the presence of God.

Performance can impress people. Worship ministers. And before God uses what comes from us, we must protect what happens between Him and us.
