Musicians needed to hear that
We all got to be humble

[tyronecrawford]

Wow!! Thanks for sharing. When I was 16 a choir from Memphis came to my small hometown. I’ve heard good music before but this choir and band was different. It caused me to start thinking about being Saved. About two months later God saved me and filled me with the Holy Ghost. After the Lord saved me I asked if He would teach me to play music and if He would, I’ll give Him the glory. Three weeks later I was playing music. I ended up studying music in school and earned a Master’s degree in music education. I’ve had a great career in music where I was Minister of Music for a large church for over 20+ years and has taught music for many years. Today I’m working at a hospital teaching music to people who are mentally ill and those with substance abuse. Believe it or not teaching these people is making a tremendous impact on their lives. All of this started because a 16 year old kid heard an anointed choir and band that God used to change my life forever.

Many times the sweetest spirits flow from the most humble singers & musicians. Stay in the word and always pray!

[GentleRailings]

Former guitar and bass church musician here. To be honest, there's too much distractions and temptations for musicians. Even when I'm not playing and just.in the pews. Now, I prefer to attend worship services with just piano and hymns and where the Bible is solidly teached and preached.

It's all about leadership. The right pastors, the right music director, make a world of difference in your church experience.

Being a self taught Multi-Instrumentalist, I didn’t grow up in the Church & @ the age of 18 I became a Christian & joined a Pentecostal Church in Brooklyn NYC.

And @ 62 years of age today, with over 40 years of playing music in Church & in the Secular field, I’ve ALWAYS understood & RESPECTED the power of MUSIC!!!

And I know that the BEST ABILITY IS AVAILABILITY, coupled with HUMILITY!!! Salute! 🫡 🙏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

I've been a guitarist for almost five decades. I've been playing at our church for about 20 years. I just can't imagine anyone coming in and being egotistical. This has nothing to do with ego. My job is to be but a part of the whole. That's it. I've had people tell me that they couldn't hear me. Now, I KNOW I'm loud enough to be heard, so I take that more as I'm doing what I set out to do, which is just be one color of the entire music pallet being played. I treat everyone the same, because music isn't a competition or about ego. Especially worship music.

There are church people who happen to do music ministry.
Then there are musicians who happen to do church gigs.

I did undergrad work in voice and was a professional trombone player for a season. (I also did undergrad work in physics and Bible.) However, my primary axe is keyboard on which I still gig, but out of my role as a Christian minister. I have a graduate seminary degree in theology and do mission work. So I understand the world of musicians.

I'm also the lead sound engineer for my church. Many in my position try to make a good sound and end at that. My goal is not primarily to make a good sound, though that's entailed in my primary goal. My primary goal is to facilitate the worship of the almighty God. I need to be invisible. The sound system needs to be invisible. The musicians on stage need to be invisible. I don't want anyone thinking about anything but their Lord Jesus and the Godhead he reveals.

The minister of music at my church agrees and he actively prepares the musicians for this task, ministering to them spiritually so that we don't get egos in the music ministry. In the old testament, the musicians would precede the warriors into battle, and we are doing spiritual warfare through music. If we don't fight the battle for our own hearts, we can't fight the battle for the hearts of the congregation.

[Reub]

My church has always suffered the misery of diva musicians for 35years.
We opted for the beginner musicians. They're more humble and are just plain happy to be given the opportunity to learn and play during service.

[JediObiDave]

I never accepted payment for playing. Service and serving God was the payment. The fact that I got to honor and lead people into the presence of God each day was enough. There were times when I had to humble myself if I felt my pride or attitude was becoming off. This is God helping us to stay true to him. What you do matters and allows others to come to God and meet him at the right moment. He never leaves or forsakes us.

[Stink]

the reason we're musicians is to honor the most high with our talents and use it as a tool for fellowship. God speed brothers, this is a spiritual war.

[treboryoung]

I've been a musician in church for almost 50 years, I have seen a lot, good and bad but now it seems like many church services and "concerts" are nothing more than a gospel talent show! You have singers trying to show you EVERY run possible from the begining of the song to the end of the song trying to impress other singers and you have bands also trying to show you EVERY lick possible from the beging of the song to the end of the song trying to impress other bands. None of this has anything to do with giving praise and honor to God, this is about singers and musicians seeking praise FOR THEMSELVES!

[Gabigalworld]

beautiful perspective. I think that applies for all things we do in life. Do it genuinely by heart unconditionally and you will succeed with everything in life.

[michaelagbay]

I'm a drummer that has been playing worship for over 25 years. I experienced 2 new musicians on our team. Keyboard and bass player. The first service we played together the bass player was over playing. He was showing his chops and playing on the high register. After the service o spoke with him and suggested in a calm way that maybe he should play less and help me hold down the groove. He was much younger than me. He got defensive and angry. He started yelling at me and swearing right in church.
I told him to stop and think about where he is whom he is serving. Then I walked away.
This video is important content. God can not use you or move the people in your church if you are using the pulpit to perform. I just felt the need to share on this topic. Thanks brother for sharing this video. May our Lord Jesus continue to use you for his glory. God be with you always.

[cdstoc]

Wow! You received a rare gift, seeing that you and what you do matters and improves the world. I feel that humility is important for all parts of life, not just musically.

[kellyklingbeil]

As a 50 year musician, I know longer want any part of the whole worship machine idol and all it has become. I now attend a little church with just a piano and organ which are rarely played together.
Such a breath of fresh air ... Simplicity, solitude, reflection.

[davidmyers]

Wow just wow! You have no idea how low i have become. You may have just saved someone else. Thank you that was very needed I’m gonna cling to it. The timing is unreal.Wow God bless you.

[timothymeadows]

I had a Pastor tell me once that the number 1 problem reported with services around the world was with the praise and worship teams. The musicians and singers caused the most drama etc. His solution was to disband such and use a CD player. Good Grief.

[sylvain]

I was a Worship Leader for 15 years, as a guitarist and vocalist. The first thing i ever said to anyone on my team was, ego is left at the door when you enter the church. I had no patience for showboating or Ego, Worship is not limited to playing music or singing, Worship is a way of life. Living a life of worship is attributing every success, accomplishment, and blessings to God, pointing to the accomplished and perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. I found the message being preached more important then what i was singing or playing. In my opinion, those should be there to support the message being preached. If the message is not the primary focus then it doesn't matter if that woman was moved by the music or not. If the message heard was more about stories then the word of god and it's meaning in context, then the whole service is meaningless. She was moved to the point of saving her earthly life, but Worship is about your eternal soul. I stepped down 4 years ago at the church i was at in a Worship leader/Pastor capacity, because i realized that no matter how much the music meant and was praised by the congregation, if the messages were not in line with exegeting the text properly, it didn't matter how good the music was. The Lead Pastor of the church was an amazingly generous, selfless and kind hearted man. But he would prepare his sermons on Saturday night for the next Morning leaving me with no way to be able to support any text he might be speaking about and most of the time the text was mostly about useless stories like fighting the Goliath in your life kind of story then actually properly presenting the Word of God in context. So, If you don't know the word of God. There is no amount of music that will be beneficial to anyone. In most evangelical churches today, the music is the primary tool to attract people and the Word of God is secondary, if properly exegeted at all. I would challenge any big assembly church to pass around a questionnaire in their service asking questions about the Word of God requiring proper answers in context and have at least 50% of their congregants either answer properly or at all because they never heard the text properly presented and most of them don't actually read and study the word of God for themselves, But that is only one man's opinion. God Bless!

[jeffreys.harris]

Uuhhĥ the word of God is the most important part of the service 🙌
