Rest in peace, servant of God ... but I wish you hadn’t helped wreck traditional worship. Still, God’s will be done.
...amen to that...I know the fellow had a godly heart, but the concept of ‘seeker-sensitive congregations’ has led to a lax laity more concerned with its own comfort than with worship...summer masses in a typical suburban Catholic Church are filled with people who appear headed to the beach for a day of fun...
Thank you for this post. I get that God shouldn't be put in a box, but I miss reverence. I miss the majesty of worship and I miss God being first in some congregations I once attended.
Calvary Chapel that Chukc began is not a seeker sensitive ministry my friend.
All cClvery Chapels teach from the Bible, book by book, verse by verse.
Maybe you should attend one before you accuse a church of being seeker sensitive just because they use music the masses understand.
Imagine the hate that was targeted towards the early church leaders who used bar hall songs in church. All they did was change the words, but the music was from songs sung in bars by drunks.
Remember, music is universal, it is the words incorporated in the music that makes it a worship song, not the instruments or the tune.
