I'm Sick of I-Me-My-Mine Worship

This is good:

I wonder if the more recent emphasis on self in worship is one more way of expressing our autonomy and self-importance.

It runs like this: "God, I am going to worship you. I consider you worthy of my worship. God, this is your lucky day. I, this self-sufficient, independent human being, around whom all of life centers, I am going to give you some of my time. I am going to declare you worthy of my worship."

So how do we go about correcting this misunderstanding? Only by understanding that worship focuses on God and God's mission to rescue the world through Jesus Christ. In words, signs, and gestures we sing, proclaim, and enact God's mission.

Worshipping is about...Well, God. It's not about me. Someone needs to tell my worship leader.
