Welcome Jason Harris

Yesterday (8/8/2010) was Jason's first Sunday as Worship Director here at Browncroft. We have been looking forward to this day for some time. Prayerfully and hopefully looking to God for direction in his ministry and we were not disappointed!

Jason gave us, with the help of a skilled Worship Team, a solid look into the Holy Spirit as was the direction for this service. We were challenged and lifted to the Throne of Grace. Thank you Jason and Team for a clear message and leading us to Worship.

This morning during devotions I was challenged yet again to 'up my skill set.' I Chronicles 15:22 says, "Kenaniah was in charge of singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it."

He wasn't just a person who was willing, even though he couldn't carry a tune. He was SKILLFUL. People enjoyed his voice and could enjoy the message because he was skillful.

I forget sometimes that we, as techies, are given the same direction. We are doing what we do because we are skillful. God has given us a specific interest and skill set. Also from 2 Chronicles we see that when God established priests who were dedicated to worship, they took their gifts and calling seriously. 2 Chronicles 34:12b talks about "the Levites - all who were skilled in playing musical instruments..." They were skilled, they knew what they were doing.

Also, as techies, we need training in what we do. Keep up on the latest and greatest to the Glory of God. He wants us to be informed and able to give the best that we have to offer to complete His work here on earth.

What is all this saying? Keep informed on the latest things we are involved in. Learn our ministry, our craft, to perform it to God's Glory. That way when Jason and our Team bring us before the Throne of God our people can hear clearly and decisively what God has for them. They can see clearly the message and can respond to it. That is why we do this!!!

So, Jason, welcome to Browncroft. May we all work together, perfecting our craft to the Glory of God and so people will come to hear and see His message clearly!!
