It's All in the Details

Details are important. Details are what take a work of art, a musical piece or a life from ordinary to extraordinary. Details make things more interesting and more beautiful.

Details will cost you something. Sometimes that means money, but it costs in other ways. Details take more effort. Details take more time.



Details are worth the effort and time and cost. The buildings and statues around Indianapolis prove that.



What does this have to do with worship? What we offer to God needs to be our very best. As we prepare a song or a service, we need to make sure we cover the details. We actually have a lot of people involved in our worship ministry that do just that. Donna and Perry cover the details of MediaShout where they make sure pictures match songs and words are spelled correctly. Chuck and Linda cover details of cameras and switching and editing so what we present on TV is high quality. Tony and Ed and Kevin cover the details of sound for the sanctuary and broadcast. Musicians in the band play with great skill (which means they get the details of the songs) so that our music is great.


Let me encourage you to be a person who cares about the details. Details in your relationships. Details in your work. Details in your spiritual life.


God is also a God of details. You can just look around at all of creation and see that. You can see that in His plan for redemption of man. Well, there is so much more that could be said about that it could be a whole other nice long post... but I can't do everything for you. Give that some thought today.
