    …and this is why I just can’t stand the “worship” industry; giving awards out to some people for magnifying God better than others.

    James,
    Ha … I almost put “how do you feel about worship leader awards” in the blog, but figured I better not …!

    I agree, it can give a weird taste, but then again, I’m also open to the idea that we are just acknowledging and honoring those who have blessed us with their gifts, and recognizing that … I’m not sure anything is really wrong with that – it’s all in how it’s presented (and more importantly, received)

    The problem is that it doesn’t just stop at honouring and recognizing; it also elevates people. To me, this is dangerous. To me, this is why scandals like the Healer hoax have such a far-reaching effect – the person gets elevated and praised instead of God being magnified and praised.

    Yeah, I am a bit with James on this one. What if we celebrated the Source rather than the PVC pipe he delivered it through? If I ever got nominated for a Dove or Grammy (fat chance), I would pull a Woody Allen and decline. I know some writers in Asia writing some burning praise and they’ll never even make the awards radar screen but they will get a huge crown in heaven for enduring persecution..
