Consuming fire, fan into flame...

Posted by Patt Terry

We have all heard, and sung along with many different types of worship. From full bands to choirs, from acoustic to electric, from rock to hymns. Our worship is no different than that of worship across the world, it consists of a keyboard, an acoustic guitar, and 2 or 3 vocalists (depending on the night). We play songs everyone knows, and have sung so many times before. But being up on the stage, watching these people worship while on their Mexico adventure, you see something different, something that isn't always there. A spark. A spark that slowly expands into a flame. It's like being here, in this environment, helping these people that are in dire need sparks a new passion in them. You can see it in their faces, and you can hear it in their voices. As the week goes on, I see people who on the first day stood with there mouths shut and arms crossed, where on the last day, their eyes were shut tight, their mouths full of song and their arms reaching for the heavens. I see that little spark in their eyes has erupted into a fire of passion for god, and for his worship. Watching this evolution of the spirit is an amazing thing. Not everyone feels this flame, but seeing those who do makes the worship we do here at the EOC so much more than just song.
