A Response: Why People Don't Sing In Church Anymore

We all have passion and one of mine is worship. Bring up worship and we could talk for hours. Bring an instrument and you will make this girl happy! We will worship for hours. I love being able to worship the creator of the universe. It makes my heart so full!

Recently I saw a blog about why people don’t sing in church anymore. I found the title interesting so I clicked on it. After reading it I was so upset and baffled that I went to my room and worshiped God and prayed “God where are your worshipers?”.

Worship is not a song. Countless blogs say why people don’t sing in church. In my option if our focus is to just get people to sing, making worship just a bunch of songs to be sung, then we are worse than I thought. When worship becomes just another song it’s likely you’re lacking relationship with the one that your called to worship.

Worship is and has always been a lifestyle. Singing songs to God is just one avenue. You can worship him with your life, money, relationships…well everything! Worship looks like a lot of different things. The woman who poured expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet and then wiped them with her hair was a act of worship. She did it because she was so in love with him. Some might think it’s over the top. But Jesus loved it.

I have traveled around the world and been in countless worship serves. I don’t speak all the different languages but that doesn’t stop me from giving my god adoration. People say songs now days are hard to sing, cheesy, aren’t the “original” songs and unbiblical. So they don’t “sing”. Haha have you gone through a hymnal lately (I love hymns don’t get the wrong idea)? Just saying… There shouldn't be any excuses.

I have been around lots of people like this: “Oh I wish they would play that one song, then I’ll sing". So here is my question: Is your worship to God dependent on what song is being played?

I’m ready for a generation to rise up and truly worship God selflessly. No matter the song or circumstance, that they consider it all joy to exalt him. I’m ready to see worship like it was in the tabernacle of David. There were people worshiping all the time with excellence and with a heart toward God (proof that excellence in worship is ok).

My heart burns for God. I long to worship Him not only on Sunday mornings but every day! We should worship because of who God is, plain and simple. He alone is worthy of all our praise. He the reason we even have songs.

I will be His worshiper and I will be a voice to this generation. It is time for the true worshipers arise. I see a people who will hold nothing back because they are so in love with Jesus.

All I Want For Christmas

I love how Jesus speaks to us. I heard a friend say that God can speak to us through anything, except for the things we don't let him. So I try my best to have a listening ear, to hear what he is saying in any moment. The other day I was listening to the song "All I Want For Christmas" by Anthem Lights, this song is one of my favorites, their harmonies are awesome (I highly recommend them!). Anywho I was listening to it and it was like all of a sudden God was singing the song to me (God likes to sing to me). I let the words wash over me as I listened to the song as if He was the one singing, and it warmed my heart. Take a listen real quick and let God sing to you through this song:


All Jesus wants for Christmas is you. He doesn't care about anything else. He doesn't care about all the "works" you do or the acts of Christianity. It's simple, He just wants you. That is the whole reason He came to earth as a baby. So that one day you would give Him all of you. Take time to sit with Him, give Him a gift this Christmas…You.

Or maybe you have taken back your gift to Him. It's never too late to give yourself back to Him.
