Well, we went back to Contemporary Church today. The music is so contemporary. No hymns or choruses at all that I know. Hubby has even commented that he doesn’t like the music, when origianally he didn’t really care. Message was about worship and celebration. The pastor, who is a fairly quiet reserved man, taught that we should use our bodies more in worship. He mentioned clapping, dancing, shouting. He doesn’t really do this himself, as he feels uncomfortable with it, but yet he feels the need to tell others that maybe that’s what worship should involve. As mentioned before, we are not comfortable with this public display of emotion, whether it’s called worship or a football game, that’s just not who we are. Does that mean we love God less? I don’t think so. Does it mean they please God more with that type of worship? I don’t think so. Worshiping in spirit and truth, in my mind, means in sincerity and with a humble heart we focus on what God has done for us and praise Him for it, in our own way. Do I think they are wrong? No. I guess we are back on a church finding mission.
