Very well written bunch of pompous, ungrateful, arrogant, nonsense.

Many of the criticisms are valid while many are not. It is glaringly lacking is any Scripture while it gives the phony claim to approving of doctrine. There is no acknowledgement of the Lordship of Jesus. Whatever the structure, He is the boss.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” The style may change but the Truth does not.

Liturgy is a style, not a doctrine. Depending on specifics, it can be ok or not ok. But it saves no one.

Another glaring thing is a complete lack of gratitude and appreciation for others other than peers who agree with him.

The author is a talented writer who does not come across as one whose head is Jesus and whose body is ALL fellow believers. He comes across as an ego-centric know-it-all out to condemn pretty much everyone who had authority over him while he was young because HE knows better. Good luck with that. You will likely raise a generation that will turn and bite back with condemnation of your phony liturgical church that is all outward piety with no inward understanding of God’s Word or love for God’s Law or obedience to it.

“The one who obey’s Me is the one who loves Me.” — Jesus.

:: Liturgy is a style, not a doctrine. ::

Just so we are clear, “liturgy” is our WORK in the worship of God (liturgaiea). It is what we do in worship and, intimately what we SHOULD do in proper worship.

Liturgy is not a “style”.
