As part of my recent mission trip, I had the opportunity to introduce a few students to the bass guitar. While most of our time was spent learning how to play the instrument, I told them that I also felt it was important to discuss a few spiritual principles that make up the foundation for playing the bass guitar in worship. These principles would really apply to any member of a worship band or praise team. I gave my students these principles in a handout, but I thought it would be helpful to share them here.
