I took a worship webinar today through Worship Leader Magazine. It was led by Bob Rognlien who wrote a book called Experiential Worship (check out his website here). His basic premise is that worship should be guided by what we often call The Great Commandment - Mark 12:30, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (NIV).

Worship is about showing our love to God, so we should be doing it with all our heart (choices), soul (emotions), mind (intellect), and strength (body). It made me think about how we’re doing with The Body. Sometimes we’re pretty good at hitting them all. But there are other weeks where we fall to our default of mostly heart and mind.

We hope that when you come to the body you come into an encounter with God every week.

God, help us to continue to find ways to connect with you in worship by using our whole being - heart, soul, mind, and strength.
