The sad truth is that there a lot of barely mediocre players who justify their GAS by playing in a safe, accepting environment every Sunday. Even the best music sucks if it's not played well.

LOL. Talk about missing the point of what it's about entirely. My amateurish mediocre bass player has more of a heart for service and worship than most people I know. I'll take him any day over some accomplished musicians that think it's all about them, their egos, and their abilities. Don't need em. That's not at all what it's about. At risk of this turning into yet another theological debate however, I'll leave it at that. Peace.
