The last thing you probably want is to be a fake worship leader.
But it’s easy to do. Sin lurks right around the corner. Your flesh longs for adoration. It gets easier to have a form of worship leading but denying true worship.
So, if you want to be a fake worship leader print off this list and hang it on your wall.
Or better yet, avoid it like the your life depends on it:
1. Don’t pray
2. Never intercede for your congregation
3. Don’t meditate on Scripture
4. Live off of yesterday’s anointing
5. Tell your band to do something you’re not willing to do
6. Don’t worship behind closed doors
7. Compete with other worship leaders
8. Talk about yourself all the time
9. Don’t encourage other musicians and worship leaders
10. Always refer to the “Glory Days”, ignoring what God is currently doing
11. Develop an easy system and coast with it
12. Ignore accountability
13. Gossip and put down other churches
14. Ignore the connection between your public & private life
15. Refuse to take the “backseat”
16. Stop answering altar calls
17. Prepare your music, not your heart
18. Only worship God when you’re leading
19. Ignore input from your pastor
20. Don’t pursue a deeper knowledge of God
21. Stay busy at church, ignore your family
22. Keep your private sin private
23. Don’t be desperate for God to move, just play the music
24. Never speak of Jesus outside of church
25. Refuse to learn from others

Bro, are we allowed to name names of people who we think are fake worship leaders? haha just joking but maybe not ; )
Haha! Only if we can talk about fake youth pastors
Oh we can talk about that too! haha!
Wow, I think for the first time on your blog…i’m speechless…
How do you come up with this stuff?! lol….great post…
Thanks man. I study a lot of great blogs and put a lot of time into it. Thanks for being such a consistent reader/commenter!
As a famous waldo Geraldo Faldo used to say…No Prob Bob…lol…
Yeah really! I was wondering the same thing haha. I love reading your blogs David. They help me out so much. Thanks for everything!
Craig, thanks so much! Means a lot.
Great post. Challenging and good thoughts in here. (Got your email by the way – I won’t be able to respond until later today probably) Thanks!
Sounds great man!
HA! This cracks me up! I think I will print this out and hang it on my wall. Funny stuff. You’re awesome.
Wow, great points. Some are pretty convicting, and I think that is a good thing. To be open here, the number one thing I probably don’t do enough is intercede for my congregation.
LORD help us.
Agreed, agreed and agreed. I think you’ll like these:

Thank You David … Thank you.
My pleasure, Samme.
Great list – can’t help thinking how well it would apply to Christian editors & authors (like me), with a few tweaks!
Thanks for the comment, Janet! It’s so interesting to see how principles transcend niches. Have you written books?
