"God Wants Only the Best"

When we hear "God deserves the best" we could all say amen. But when that turns into "you are not good enough to preach, teach, sing or play music for God leave it those more gifted" it makes me wonder why there is more that 1 Christian musician in the world because there would only be one person who is THE best. It would seem to me to be supremely arrogant to think of oneself as the best at the same time telling someone else they are not worthy to be part of the church musical team.

I don't advocate letting anyone preach, teach or play music but unless we give people an oppurtunity to learn, how will they become better? Or how will they even discover in what areas they are gifted?
