Why is the world so full of rhetoric and rhymes? Particularly the church world? I wonder if God sobs at the rarety of pure, deliberate, intentional worship. What is it about man that causes us to need miracles in order to worship?
Okay – let me stop being so deep.
But seriously – I don’t want to be an aimless wanderer. I want my Christian walk to mean something to more than just me. I want to make a difference in my world – and I want to actually please the God that created me. I believe that my life was created for a purpose. I believe that every gift God has given me was given because He wants to use them. I believe that the course of my life was so that I could learn and develop the things that would make me effective in accomplishing God’s purposes for my existence. Since I believe that my life has meaning then I want to make sure that I accomplish my purpose.
As I was doing my research before marketing my CD I ran across some information for independent artists. It suggested that every band or artist should have a mission statement. You should be able to clearly articulate your purpose for doing what you do. I had never considered having a mission statement before reading this information. I then began to pray and seek the Lord for the purpose of music ministry. I’d like to share my resulting mission statement with you.
My mission is to:
- Usher mankind into a worship experience that influences their way of life
- Daily demonstrate the truth of Christ to the world and influence other Christians to do the same
- Be a model of excellence in servant leadership and worship leading; and
- Create music that will cause Christians to make their worship a lifestyle.
