The Love Language of God


"The Love Language of God
 is the fullest treatise on the subject of love that I have ever observed. I believe it will become a recognized resource on the subject. " -Jack Taylor, Dimensions Ministries

Christianity is changing from being task-oriented "doing" to relationship-oriented "being"-becoming the equally yoked companion for the Son of God. A clear image of that loving relationship between Christ and His Bride, the Church, is presented in The Love Language of God for you-and all those who want a closer, more intimate relationship with the Savior. Don't let this intimate relationship with Jesus get lost in the everyday hubbub of life.

A great teaching for worship leaders by vetern worship leader Terry Butler

terrybeverlybutler.jpg 1. Your team needs to be with you in settings other than rehearsal at church

♦ Do a picnic
♦ Take them to Baskin Robbins and buy them a cone
♦ Play volleyball together

2. There’s probably somebody on your team that needs to take a break from worship ministry. (It will actually strengthen their personal worship and growth in the Lord.)

3. You are a bigger influence than you probably realize. The team (especially younger members) will pick up and emulate your attitudes and opinions of church, of its leaders, of other ministries, etc.

4. You can be a great resource to your team in helping them grow in their faith. Give them articles to read, recommend good books and make them aware of seminars and retreats, etc.

5. Your team needs to laugh! Laughter is good medicine and draws people closer together.

6. Growth is contagious! Point out and affirm the musical and spiritual growth you see in individuals on the team. Others will hear it and some will follow suit (lessons, purchasing better gear, digging deeper, growth in prayer, etc.).

7. Many on your team may be ready to teach/train others. Link up more seasoned members with up and coming bass players, keyboardists, vocalists, etc. It can make a huge difference in the lives of young people and children as well as adults.

8. You probably have a future worship leader on the team right now.

9. One or two of your team members have really good ideas on how to help take the worship ministry to the next level (but they won’t share unless asked to).

10. There is no substitute for care and encouragement. Be sure that your team knows that you value and appreciate them.

11. Be appropriately transparent with your team. Confess you shortcomings (they know them anyway!). It will stimulate more openness and vulnerability on the team and create opportunities to minister one to another.oly Spirit.
