ODYSSEY, USA – Today local Pastor of Odyssey Community Church Wilson Knox started to rethink who he had leading worship at his church events. Knox has been serving faithfully in his position at the Church for several years now and moved to Odyssey because of his relation to local ice cream shop owner John Whittaker.
Buck Meltsner and Jules Kendall have been regularly attending Odyssey Community Church for awhile now with their respective parents or guardian. Recently these two started attending church youth group events more frequently and as a result, they were asked by Pastor Knox to help lead worship for an upcoming event. They both agreed and a couple days later were singing in front of the Church.
Everything seemed to be going well as Kendall and Meltsner sang a beautiful rendition of the hymn Amazing Grace. As the song closed, the audience clapped and everything seemed serene. However, Knox became overwhelmed with uneasiness about his decision to have them play, but he couldn’t figure out the reason for this feeling.
Suddenly it came to him! He realized that when he asked them to sing, he had just caught them skipping out on the message portion of youth group. Knox bit his tongue in disappointment at his own lack of judgement. He then remembered he didn’t even know if either of them were even Christians! They were up there singing things they didn’t even believe! Thankfully the service ended and Knox informed them that he would not ask them to lead worship again unless they were saved. Knox breathed a sigh of relief as he calmed himself with the thought that at least they didn’t sing any Hillsong, Elevation, or Bethel music.
