I Hate David Crowder
I hate David Crowder.
Okay,maybe hate is such a strong word, maybe its
dislike. I have nothing against David Crowder himself; just that so many in
the worship ministry aspect want to attempt to be well like David Crowder or the next Matt Redman or Chris Tomlin of worship ministry. Don't be like David. (Or even like Mike
for that matter). What God is doing through DCB is great. But be who you
are, and God created you to be.
Isn’t worship a daily thing? Isn’t worship about a lifestyle of living and breathing? I’m seeing more Church Worship teams, both youth and adult, trying to impersonate David Crowder. Please … there are only so many songs that can be sung like David Crowder. Sometimes it saddens me to see Lead Worshippers in churches trying to sing, act, and even look like Crowder.
Follow Jesus, not David Crowder. I think that's the way David would liked it.
Pointing all things to God's Glory that we may Love God through all of our actions both in songs and in deeds/ We don't need more David Crowders, Chris Tomlins, or Matt Redmans.I wonder why we look to people like David Crowder, instead of the Rulemaker, that David loves and sings about. Maybe that's the point. Don't let your life be modeled after David Crowder, model your life after the God who Crowder loves. I really don't dislike David Crowder; I've just fallen more in love with the God he serves.
What about you? Caught in the game of trying to impersonate a lead worshipper rather than worshipping the God they sing about? How can you fall back in love with God? Maybe it isn't looking at what others have; but thanking God that He uses all sorts of people to be a part of the Body and Kingdom. (This post inspired from Doug Fields 1.0

What do you think? Hate Crowder? or Love the God he worships?

Jesus is the answer. Let's just tell people about Him.

Nope.
I also dont see too many people wanting to look like a 6 foot freaky looking dude with a barely good voice.
I think the problem is that we have too many people who catch on to something "cool" and tru to copy it and then end up just killing it.
I say we do need more David Crowders.
We need more people with fresh ideas and anthems for todays church.
We dont need copy cats but we need fresh voices.
I love David Crowder, though I don't care for his music or his look. He never tried to be someone else, and (as far as I know), he never told anyone to try to be like him.
What a great reminder that worship is far more than just signing songs. Worship is feeding the poor. Worship is acts of justice. Worship is loving people, etc., etc.
You might want to change your catchy title.
I miss ya man!
In Christ
