Obviously, you want to set up a breakaway church to be called the MAC(USA), whilst us computer dinosaurs will have to remain in the PC(USA)…:)
Welcome to the ALL NEW LifeWayWorship.com!
LifeWayWorship.com is now open! Over 200 arrangements of top hymns and praise and worship songs are now available for download in WorshipChart, WorshipMedia and WorshipTrack formats
Plus, three arrangements are absolutely free:
These three titles also include a preview of our groundbreaking new SongMap™ feature.
If you have questions, please feel free to visit the Frequently Asked Questions (yes… there are already questions that have been frequently asked!) or our Customer Service page for more details.
Thanks again to those of you who participated in last week’s beta test of LifeWayWorship.com–if you’re curious to know how things are going, or if you had to miss last week’s test, you’re in luck–we’ve made some adjustments based on the feedback we received, and have scheduled a second round of testing on October 23, from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., CDT. (Yes, that’s tomorrow!!)
Ten songs will be available for testing and downloading in their default versions for WorshipCharts, WorshipTracks, PowerPoint®, and basic worship planning. Of these ten, seven will be available for actual purchase and the other three available to test the SongMap™ application; mapped arrangements may be downloaded at no charge.
In order to properly test checkout, you will still need to use a credit card or your LifeWay account number, even to download the three free SongMap™ titles. If your order consists of free arrangements exclusively, your account will not be charged and your receipt will reflect no charge. The test is open to everyone!
To get started:
Take your time exploring the site and trying out all the features–those of you who participated in last week’s test are encouraged to test new arrangements in SongMap, or perhaps features that you didn’t test last week (like the basic planner tool).
Thanks to you, we’re on target to release over 200 titles by the end of this month, with 100+ to be released at regular intervals beginning mid-November. Thank you again for your time–your contribution to LifeWayWorship.com‘s testing will help us become better servants for generations of worship and music ministries worldwide.
T. Ashton Reynolds begins asking “what does worship look like?”
Does it look like a bunch of people standing in, what in any other context would be considered a rock concert, with their hands lifted and their eye closed in that kinda worshipful squint? It is sitting in church singing songs composed 400-600 years ago? Is it a capella (no instruments) voices working for perfect harmony? Is it falling on our face saying nothing?
He answers it with an unexpected answer: Isaiah 58:6-7.
Bob Kauflin shares with us what he’s learned over a decade of reviewing worship songs at Soverign Grace Ministries.
Stuff Christians Like gives us three alternative names for “blended worship.”
I’m cool with blended worship. Honestly. Although I tease, I should probably warn you that the church I start, iGracePointeLifeTruthHouseNorthRiverElevate, is going to have blended worship. It’s going to be a blend of awesome and wicked awesome.
Confessions of a Girl who loves Jesus… tells us that she bought a hymnal and a Bible this weekend. The Psalms she quotes would make a great devotional this morning. Her Why the blog? entry is pretty inspirational too.
Julie Reid compares her recent college football experience to our worship experience.
Christian Post has Billy Graham’s response to the question:
I know I’m supposed to worship God when I go to church, but I can’t say I always do. My thoughts wander, or I get to thinking about the people around me and I come away disappointed in myself for not really worshipping. How can I keep from being distracted?
Every so often, I’ll find two posts about worship that sound like they might have been done by the same person, or two posts that are on the same topic. These sound like they might have been done by a worship leader and someone in their congregation. My guess is that these two don’t even know each other!
