Learn How To Let God Bless You

The Westminster Confession says that the chief end of man is to worship God and enjoy Him forever. I love this old truth but I think John Piper says it in an even greater way. He says, "Worship God by enjoying Him forever." Through many years of leading worship in nearly every kind of situation, I've discovered a secret that helps me every time I use it. It's learning how to let God bless me!

Where’s Your Focus?

Several years ago, a friend of mine went to a major league baseball game. He was seated in the upper deck in the outfield. On a whim he decided to fold his scorecard into a paper airplane. When he tossed it, he expected it would go a few rows down and crash. My friend didn’t realize how favorable the air currents were that day inside that baseball complex. So rather than flying just a few yards and stopping, it kept going. And going. And going.
