Preachers often get “out-the-door comments” after the Sunday morning service. Some are just members trying to be encouraging or cordial, but others seem to have a “code” to them.
For example, when someone says, “That was a nice service,” it may really mean “nothing too offensive, nothing too challenging.” “That was interesting” sometimes means “too many deviations from the norm; it’s going to cause you some grief in the very near future.” Even silence can be code, like a dense, dark, ominous cloud promising unpleasantness to come.
While every leader has a responsibility in our worship, I want you to consider your role in the worship service. I invite you to take this personal survey. You don’t need to share it; just honestly evaluate yourself. It might surprise you.
