Think about this

Think about these quotes from Internetmonk at http://www.internetmonk.com/archive/the-big-worship-goof :

"Does anyone- I mean, really, seriously- have any idea what is actually happening within the worship culture of evangelicals? We have, within a matter of 50 years, completely changed the entire concept of what is a worship service. We’ve adopted an approach that demands ridiculous levels of musical, technical and financial commitment and resources."

. . .

"Worship is now a major audience event, led by skilled entertainers, aimed at a demographic and judged by the audience reaction."

. . .

"Worship has now become a musical term. Praise and worship means music. Let’s worship means the band will play. We need to give more time to worship doesn’t mean silent prayer or public scripture reading or any kind of participatory liturgy. It means music."

. . .

It's "like a NASCAR car with the throttle stuck open."

His conclusion: "We have goofed up. Simple, plain liturgy. Diversity and inclusion. Appreciation and full Biblical understanding. Cross generational intentionality and suspicion of the profit motive. Renouncing the spirit of competition. Hearing the prophetic warnings about God’s disgust with much of Israel’s “big show” worship culture. We need all of this."
