Self-Centered Worship.

freedomreigns:

I don’t want to step on any toes, but this needs to be said.

I’m seeing an increase in what can only be described as self-centered worship in the modern church. Instead of exalting God, we are becoming more and more enamored with exalting ourselves.

I just think that there needs to be balance. I think songs that focus on how God feels about us are definitely beneficial. When I was struggling with low self-esteem and a range of other things, these are the songs that reminded me that I was loved.

But if this is all that’s being sung in church, we’re missing something. Worship is not about who we are, it is about who God is. There’s something infinitely more powerful in lifting His name up and singing about His holiness than singing about myself all the time.

In reality, it isn’t about us.

Truth.

Soli Deo gloria!
