Texas Pastor: Point of Worship Is about Christ; Not about Impressing Crowds with Our Creativity

Mike Harland, LifeWay Worship Director and a Southern Baptist pastor, has told a group of pastors that the point during worship is not about better bands or advanced technology, according to the Christian Post website.

Rather, it's about revealing the person of Jesus Christ and giving Him the adoration that He deserves.

"We don't want to gather trying to impress crowds with our technology, our innovation, or creativity, but to passionately worship the God who saves," he said last week at a one-day conference on "Transformational Small Churches."

Harland, who is a pastor of music in Corrollton, Texas, stressed to pastors that "worship starts where the people are, not where you want them to be."
