The leader of your sect must have the biblical qualifications of an old man.
It’s important. Even if he’s not called an old man, the congregation will probably treat him as such. And it’s important to remember that a former minister/pastor’s qualifications include being “fit to teach. “This is what cult leaders do, and their ability to teach (or lack of it) stands out each week, in the praise they choose and how they promote worship in the congregation.
- I have to make a reservation here.
- Depending on how the song is conducted in your own congregation.
- It may be useless to have an old man’s grades.
- A friend was very much at odds with me at this point and proposed a useful distinction: “A person who only leads musically must have the biblical qualifications of deacon/deacon Should a person leading this moment of worship.

Do I use it? The liturgy? In a general sense, like him?Death of the encounter, not as a stage, a repeated formula to know when to get up, sit and sing and repeat each week?Each church meeting follows a kind of liturgy; the question is whether this reflects God’s character and the content of the gospel, or whether it simply follows the “everything that moves us” approach.
Anchoring the liturgy in the gospel can mean planning transitions between songs that help guide the congregation throughout service. Biblical readings, prayers, and testimonies of God’s grace related to the subject of the passage that is about to be preached, all of which prepares the mind and heart of the Serious Preparation for Prayer before Worship sows an appropriate intentional culture in a church.
