Hrm so something that has been in the back of mind for a very long time now seems to be taking shape.
A praise ministry.
Here's the mission statement, in the works. BBL.
As members/a member of “Audience of One” Ministries, it is our mission to unify within diversity: That there is no division between us. Race, financial status, age, composure, pride be broken down through our energetic, passionate praise and all of this be given for the glory of God. We will all agree, with one heart, and one God. Members of this ministry will, when given the opportunity, or at any time, pour out themselves, undignified, for God, becoming an empty vessel so that God may come in and fill in that space in our hearts. For Romans 1:16 says, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.”
We are not actors or performers, for to do that would to dishonor God’s name. Salvation comes from faith alone; and thereby the confessions of our mouth. Therefore, we purify ourselves and revolve our hearts around God so that we are in line with him and his plans. We will guard our hearts for we are his creations, and we will fix our gaze directly upon him as we walk forward into the world. For 1st John 2:15-17 says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world- The cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does- comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.”
We question ourselves; Can we be willing to Sacrifice? Can we give up everything we have? Can we lose ourselves? Can we break and humble ourselves? Can we drown and submerge ourselves in his grace only to rise and uplift his glory? We will strive to better ourselves, and set Christ as a model for our own lives. We will continue to further ourselves spiritually and musically, for 1st Corinthians 10:31 says that “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” By furthering ourselves in body, mind, spirit with the glory of God in mind, we will equip ourselves with God given abilities and talents in order to spread his truth and word.
We praise in order to spread the truth that is God’s unfailing, unconditional love: That as members of this ministry we are unquenchable, undignified, unstoppable worshippers, for God seeks our hearts, our most inner parts and souls. We are to praise with conviction so that we affect those around us. We will cry out and shout unto the right living role for Christ. We do not just play, but share the truth and lay it down. We worship with everything we have for it says in Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30 and Luke 10:27: “Love the Lord your God with all your Heart with all your Soul and with all your Mind and with all your Strength.”
The heart of worship: Passion and Energy led by Faith. This is how we will present the truth of Christ. Just as King David, who was a King, but killed his pride; so we shall kill our pride and show the love working within us. We cannot be contained. We are united in praise. We will shout it out to an Audience of One, Jesus is our risen savior and king, his love is never ending and is meant for everyone.
