I play for my worship team at church. Usually I’m on guitar but sometimes I sub on drums if someone is out. Everyone attending a church service isn’t always a believer. Some are there struggling with life and looking for answers, or wanting to believe but they are allowing something to hold them back. It is my hope that playing in the worship team, I am helping to minister to their hearts and helping God’s message to reach them on a deep and emotional level.
Successful attempts have included getting friends to church and church events. One recent example was that for this past Mother’s Day my friend came to church. He has been struggling with grief over a lost friend and I’m glad he came down. There was a special luncheon after service. He had a good time and said goodbye to my pastor before we left.
One somewhat unsuccessful attempt was when I was texting back and forth with a different friend. He is not a believer and I was trying to compel him to think about things and he sort of responded that he wanted to change the topic and I was beating him over the head with the Bible. As they say, the truth will set you free, and I guess he’s just not ready to be free, or perhaps he doesn’t want to follow the rules of the Bible because he thinks he’s free now, but indeed he is ensnared. He’s said he will come to life group some time and I hope he does.
