Did you know that as a singer in the Lord’s service you have a very high calling? You have been appointed by the King of Kings to sing! Recently, I was reminded of this fact when I attended a Bible conference filled with amazing music and strong teaching from God’s Word. Arriving at the opening night of the conference…
If you’re in the music ministry in your local church, you have probably experienced the like-mindedness and bond that fellow musicians share. Being a musician, I can honestly say that most of us musicians are a “different breed.” We have a lot of quirks, and our creative brains can often seem like a vast wilderness…
Musicians, I have a question for you. Have you ever thought that you don’t have enough of what it takes to be in the music ministry? Have you had thoughts of insufficiency in your musical talent? Maybe you have measured your musical abilities against someone else…
“It’s better to give than to receive”- I am sure you have heard this said before. And if you have raised children you have probably tried to teach them this truth. Have you ever applied this truth to your ministry? If you have been in the ministry any time at all you will agree that we are blessed as we serve…

The processional is beautiful with all the bridesmaids and groomsmen, ring-bearer and flower girls! The other day I was in my kitchen, chopping up veggies and cooking, and I was listening to the Bible being read on my phone. I have a Bible app on my phone and I often open it up, put it on audio and listen to the reader reading the Bible as I work. On this particular day the reader was in Psalms and all of a sudden a verse he read put a beautiful picture in my mind…
Have you ever noticed that when you’re scheduled to sing almost everything seems to go wrong? I’m not sure why this is – whether it’s the enemy trying to interfere, a result of our own limitations or just simply life happening. Whatever the case, it’s a sure thing. No matter how well you plan…
Have you ever had a season in your life where you felt like God had “put you on the shelf” in your music ministry? Maybe you have had to step away from your music ministry due to health reasons, or you relocated to a new town. Perhaps, there have been personal conflicts. For a singer, that’s a difficult season to go through…
