For the last few months I often have had a re-occurring subject on my mind. The subject is creativity, especially relating to the musical portion of our church services. As a traveling worship leader, I visit many different churches. So this is not directed at any one group, but rather a trend I see in many different churches ranging from very conservative to very charismatic. Often I see a lack of creativity in worship, which causes people to copy other people who are more famous or well known. Now I realize, to some extent being influenced by people you admire is unavoidable, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, what I observe often tends to be excessive. It strips people of their own style and personality, and causes them to abandon who they are to copy someone else.

 As you search through the scriptures, you will find the issue of justice from the book of Genesis all the way through Revelation. In the pro-life movement, there is a common phrase that states, "social justice starts in the womb". We believe this to be absolutely true, however it doesn't end there.
