What about a certain arrangement of lights, certain sounds mixed together, and certain equipment being used makes contemporary worship evil? <br />Why should the devil get all of the newest inventions?<br /><br />1 Chronicles 29:11 - Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.<br /><br />Hebrews 2:10<br />In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, <b>for whom and through whom everything exists</b>, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190629614597380938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309335063285317001.post-10304512093998123392010-10-11T19:47:40.304-07:002010-10-11T19:47:40.304-07:00In one regard it seems genius.

But there's a twist..cause in an attempt to be relevant the church unknowingly partners with worldliness. So the 'called out ones' leave the trapings of this passing age, looking for God's house. A house where God promises to breathe life into weary people through the Holy Spirit through simple means. The preaching of the word, singing, prayer, communion, and baptism. <br /><br />But what they get instead is a church where the people take their worldliness (which we all have) and find ways to justify it into the service. They feed the worldliness of man, and even get them to yearn for it themselves. Good intentions gone wrong where the Scriptures aren't properly interpreted. Anything could go, even an amusement park. <br /><br />People get what they want..which isn't what they need. Coffee, dance, light show, concert, and a talk. If they return they can join the bball teams or groups designed around worldly marketing methods..case in point with money for the building project.<br /><br />Why do people come..cause they get everything they want out of the world, but under a Christian label. <br /><br />In the world and of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309335063285317001.post-43147819116606927112010-10-11T09:18:43.685-07:002010-10-11T09:18:43.685-07:00It's interesting how similar the lights, stage...It's interesting how similar the lights, stage, band, and I'm guessing the style of music is to the worlds way of doing things.
