Many times a wisely expressed exhortation is ideal for correcting difficult situations in worship or giving direction to the worship. God's people do respond to exhortation. We must be careful, though, that we do not abuse our privilege of exhorting the people. Our exhortations should be kept short and to the point. We should not simply repeat the words of the song at hand but should contribute something unique that will augment what the current song is saying.
Most worship leaders are able to function well when everything is going fine.
These times are never easy, but there are some principles that will help guide us through them, and they can contribute to our learning and development. Worship leaders seem to be continually frustrated with those who are unresponsive in worship. In our society, to be socially acceptable in a religious convocation, one should be very conservative and refined. Individuals will be even more inhibited if they do not know anyone in the church. Since many people have difficulty being open and communicative with someone as close to them as their spouse, we can expect them to be even more introverted in a public place of worship.
