Why Won’t People Express Themselves I Worship?
I am sure as worship leaders, if we are honest, we have asked this question, “Why don’t our people express themselves in worship?” I found an article by Stephen Newman (experiencingworship.com) dealing with this very subject, and I hope it is an encouragment to each one of us as we wrestle with this issue.
Undoubtedly, this is the question that has frustrated worship leaders and pastors for the past several hundred years. Why do some people jump up and down in worship and some won’t even open their mouths to sing? What is the problem? These are supposed to be people who love the Lord. They are supposed to be Christians, right? Who really knows why people act the way they do? The same person who won’t move a muscle in church will jump up and down at their favorite sports events cheering on their teams, or kids, with all the emotion of a cheerleader. How are we as worship leaders supposed to lead people and help them get excited about the Lord?
