Keys to Worship Planning: Honoring God Through Excellence

“We are a reflection of God’s character on this earth. God isn’t sloppy or ill prepared; he’s excellent. And excellence on our part honors him. Where you and I get into trouble is in thinking that excellence is the same as perfection. It isn’t. We will never be perfect this side of heaven. But that doesn’t mean we can’t reflect our Father’s perfection by being excellent in all we do. As Nancy Beach says in her book An Hour on Sunday, excellence is simply doing the best we can with what God has given us.”

– Nelson Searcy and Jason Hatley
