KSC’s Blog

I really wanted to go to the Catalyst Conference this year. But, that’s the great thing about blogs and technorati.com is that after a conference like Drive 05 or Catalyst, there are tons of people blogging about the keynotes. The lineup for this conference was amazing. Here’s one of someone talking about Louie Giglio’s keynote … what a reminder.

Thoughts from Louie Giglio’s session at Catalyst. He gave a great illustration about men complimenting their wife in public. Telling my wife she looks great in front of a bunch of people doesn’t do anything for her…it just makes me look good. What my wife craves is for my compliments in private. When it’s not about me, but all about her.

I think there’s a great parallel there with Christian worship. How we love to worship God in public. We crave the passionate worship experiences, and flock to them. We keep filling ourselves up with the experience until we pop. We over-sing the songs and chase down the feelings. “Just how many God-moment worship experiences do we need,” Louie asked.

I think what God wants is for us to tell Him how incredible he is in PRIVATE. It may not be as meaningful when it’s in a crowd of people at church or at a conference. Maybe it means more when it’s from our heart, when there are no people around to impress. - From Thoughts.
