Not All Are Miracles

It happens all the time. Someone narrowly avoids a car accident. Another person recovers after surgery. A team wins a big game they were supposed to lose. And without hesitation, someone says it: 
​
“It’s a miracle!” 

​
But here’s the greater truth--those probably aren’t miracles. At least not in the biblical sense. Not in the theological sense.

​Not even close. Somewhere along the way, our culture started using “miracle” to describe anything unusual, fortunate, or emotional. And Christians are very prone to this as well.

Much of singing is about technique. Much is about talent. Both play into developing your image as a singer. Image, really? Yes. Every time you sing publicly, you are developing a reputation as a singer, whether good, bad, or indifferent. This reputation becomes part of your image as a singer. Every opportunity you have to sing for the Lord is also your opportunity to grow in your ability as a singer and as one others look forward to hearing. No matter the venue, or purpose, each time you sing in front of others you shape others’ opinions of your abilities. ​

Many casual singers used to have the opportunity to exercise their gifts by singing in the church choir. However, this is no longer the option it once used to be. It is rather unfortunate, but with the exponential growth of contemporary worship services it is no wonder many church choirs have died out. It is estimated that only 35% of evangelical congregations still have choirs that are used on a regular basis. For some reason, this just is not seen as important as it once used to be and while it likely will not make a resurgence, this article explains 4 reasons that churches should never let their choir ministry end (and others should crank them back up!).

Picture in your mind's eye an Olympic athlete toeing the starting mark or mounting the diving platform. He or she is poised, ready to meld body, heart, and soul in a splendid outpouring of energy that inspires and uplifts all within its radius. As a singer or public speaker, there is much in common with this athlete. Time has been spent mastering the material and gearing mentally to perform.

Let's be honest. Someone stands up to sing a solo at church, or a guest singer has come to the service. What do you expect from them? Singing! Singers are usually asked into a church to sing. But that is not the case for many singers. The temptation is to talk...to share between songs. THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE OF MANY WORSHIP SONG LEADERS, AS WELL! Being balanced is the key. If you are a singer, lean more heavily to that which you have been called to do at the venue. I have heard singers tell me their real gift is preaching. Hmmm. Then study to be a preacher. If it is to sing... then sing. It is to lead worship singing, then lead it!
