What did David do to slay the giant? He certainly did not use the armory that was given to him. But, he used a sling shot..."said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied." I Samuel 17:45. And with one shot to the head the giant was down, done and David cut the head off and from that point on it was history. What do ministry people use, what tools do they lean on? Some lean on loud music, demonstrative graphics or visuals, the rock in the music to overpower and excite the senses, right? Well, that is what it does! I have no problem with the visuals in certain places but how unnecessary it is when God is able, capable to show up through one man or one woman in the most simplest, humblest way and in that the audience would be riveted in their seats not because of the music or the visuals but because of the word of God that is strong in a life that is dedicated to God like David.
Yes, many are talented with their voice or with knowing how to play an instrument but if it is not used in a way that truly glorifies God than it is in the way! And it leaves the word of God to no affect and then lives are really not changed they are just "excited".
