Chapter 12 "with music"

In this chapter, Kauflin talks about the deceptiveness of music. He says that we can think we are praising God, but we are actually doing the exact opposite. Christians have been arguing about worship music for a very long time. And if we don't understand what God wants in our music, we can misuse worship. Despite these things, God wants us to use music to worship him, although it is not the only way to worship.

I thought it was interesting that he said being moved by music and worshiping God is not the same thing. We can be moved by God's music, and it might make us sing and cheer out, but at that time, we could still not be worshiping God.

Bob Kauflin "so what does a worship leader do" summary and reflection

In the beginning of Bob Kauflin's Worhsip Matters he explains that worship hasn't been around for long, but we have now built it in our routine of practice. He says that one of the bases of the church is how worship music dominates it's structure and thinking and that its hard to imagine a church without worship time. Later on in the chapter, he says that the term "worship leader" can often be misunderstood. For example, it can make us think that we have to have worship leaders, or that  worship is just singing. He ends with saying that worship leaders have the ability to impact and teach God's people. I think that being a worship leader is a great privilege because it gives us the opportunity to encourage others and help them give glory to him. Sometimes, we can take it for granted, and forget who we are really doing it for. I like how Kauflin explained that the term "worship leader" can be misunderstood because I had never thought of that before...
