		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I get into a pattern of doing a lot of things, being very busy and even working many hours for the "kingdom". As a ministry leader in my church, I feel pressure from the world, and sometimes other church leaders, to squeeze every drop of productivity out of my day. But it really leads me to ask the question, when is too much, too much? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My overall thought about this article is that we, as leaders, must be sure that we are seeking God and His will for His people in our times of corporate worship. It really doesn't matter what things we do or don't do, Ps. 127:1 clearly states that unless God doesn't show up, it's all for nothing. Allow His spirit to lead you and you could stand on your head for 3 hours and people will be blessed (I'd sure like to be in that service).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I think that we don&#8217;t realize the impact the last 5 minutes of the Sunday service has on the congregation. I think that James MacDonald from Harvest Bible Chapel describes it well in the video included from his blog. Whether it is a song, prayer or even an exhortation, we must realize that the message [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently added a post called &#8220;Worship Is The Sauce&#8221;. In that post I wrote about three R&#8217;s: Real, Relevant, Relational. So often we use these &#8220;buzz&#8221; words in the church context. But the truth is that people are looking for these things not only in church but outside our chapels too.  I participated in a [...]]]></description>

What I am talking about is that generally on Sunday mornings at church we have a time of corporate worship with music before the Pastor comes out and preaches. Is this [...]]]></description>
