The Dual Reality

I have always been a pretty harsh critic of sermons that I hear.  I am at least consistent in that it transfers to me being a really harsh critic of even my own sermons.  Therefore, when asked to join the church creative team, a chunk of which deals with the critiquing and debriefing of last weeks services, I knew I would have helpful things to say at that point.

I, however, have never been good at critquing worship.  I still don't know exactly what I'll be looking for to critique, as I have no musical knowledge, but know that I am supposed to start critiquing that aspect of the service as well.

Here is to hoping I can maintain a dualistic balance in participation, and getting out of the services what God would intend for me, while at the same time, having my analytical lenses on to help the service parts continue to improve and strive for excellence.
