PERFORMANCE VS. WORSHIP

A conflict not unlike Batman Vs Superman in my opinion! 

What am I talking about? 

Well... I just mean they’re two things that can conflict spectacularly or they can work together very powerfully. 

There is such a thing as a worshipful performance - if the onstage heart and the offstage lifestyle of the performer is worshipful.

If the performance is an outward demonstration of the “worth-ship” of God, presented against a backdrop of quiet obedience, integrity and sacrifice for His name then performance can certainly be worship.

However if a performance is designed to enthrone the performer and unseat God as the centre of attention and admiration (a hopeless task incidentally given how magnificent He is), it’s not worship and should have no place in Christian Music.
