Weddings and funerals. These are the two reference points an un-churched person has for traditional worship.
Which of these two do our churches most resemble? Is our worship slow and methodic? Do we have something to celebrate? Do people look a little sad to be at church this day? Are people showing an emotional resonance to the words being spoken?
When we worship as a body we should be celebrating the resurrection of our savior.
The worship wars have focused on traditional vs. contemporary. This is wrong. The worship wars should focus on good vs. bad. Because any musical style could be used to worship God.
Every worship committee should re-evaluate every second of their worship service. Which aspects show the joy of the resurrection? Which events hide the brilliance of our joy?
