Description:
The largest group dedicated to Praise and Worship music, any scrobbler who enjoys leading or listening to praise music is welcome.

Worship is a huge thing. We look forward to worship every week. When the music includes one of our favorites, we say, “The worship was great!” When the music stinks, we yawn and wonder why the worship wasn’t very good. We leave churches because of the “worship style.” Worship is a huge thing. Have you ever wondered if we’re more concerned with what worship does FOR us and less concerned with the Object of or worship? It seems like it’s more about what we GET, not what we GIVE. It would be like taking a gift to a friend’s birthday party, but keeping it for ourselves. Worship is all about GIVING our lives (again) to God.

Worship is not about the feelings we receive when we sing. Worship is not about convincing God to bless us. Worship is not about whether or not the guitar is too loud. Worship is not about what’s happening on the stage. Worship is not about entertainment, lighting, or sound. Worship is not about us at all. IT’S NOT ABOUT US. It’s about Him. And we enter through the gateway of the cross. At the cross, we surrender, love, cry, dream, give up, shut up, kneel, confess. We look at God, and place Him above all else because He is worth it! Life gets crazy and painful. No one can deny that. No one is asking you to pretend that those things aren’t affecting you. DON’T PRETEND! You’re just being invited to bring that stuff to the cross, and to simply gaze at Jesus. And as you look at Him, allow your response to be - Worship. http://www.grovefilms.com

"Worship is not a song. Worship is my response to God with all that I am to all that He is, all that He has done, is doing, and will do in me, through me, around me, and in spite of me. It’s not just a song. Worship is our response with all of our lives, everything that we’ve been given, to all that God is. And so, if we come in here in this place and we raise our hands and we raise our voices, but we don’t stretch these hands out when we leave this place to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and fight for the poor and for the oppressed, then what you and I have done is worship a singer or a song, but not a God."
