To Plan or NOT To Plan

[Dave]

I had a perfect example a few days ago of the problems caused by not planning. We had to do the same messianic dance twice in a row because we hadn't checked with the musicians what songs they were doing and planned what dances to do. It was definitely not ideal.



Some sort of preparation, in my view, is essential to provide a framework in which God can operate. I've found that things rarely work as well as they could if we don't do a bit of planning. There are some highly anointed people who can probably get away with no planning, but they are few and far between.



It's funny how people who are against preparation (or any sort of presentation or performance in worship) forget that the sermon is normally planned, prepared, and rehearsed, a process which might take half the pastor's working week.



Blessings,



Dave
