Healthy Tentions In Corporate Worship
Healthy Tensions In Corporate Worship-Video
In this video Bob Kauflin provides an introduction to his concept of Healthy Tensions. Bob defines Healthy Tensions as ”aspects of Biblical worship that seem opposed with one another or are in tension with each other but both make up worship and both are important to consider if we want to lead worship in a way that reflects Biblical values and proportions.” Healthy Tensions are the proverbial two side coins of worship… Is worship for the head or the heart? Is worship vertical or horizontal? Health Tensions dispel many myths and misconceptions about the subject of corporate worship and ultimately level the playing field. Often when a new building is built the developers first have to excavate the land and rid it of anomalies to provide a smooth surface which can be built on. Think of Healthy Tensions as a philosophical excavator clearing the land so we can build a worship ministry that is founded firmly on balanced Scriptural thinking.

Diversity in God-Centered Worship
John Piper delivered this sermon way back in 1995 in preparation for the introduction of Bethlehem Baptist’s new worship philosophy. He talks about the importance of pursuing diversity in God-centered worship. While Piper acknowledges the importance of cultural diversity he stresses that it must come under the heading of God-centeredness. So in other words worship can only be relevant to the extent that it is God-centered. If worship becomes culturally centered instead of God-centered then it looses focus and fails to fulfill it purpose. The classic case of “don’t put the cart before the horse.”
