We had a man come to our church who had done research on different forms of worship within the Christian church...he had come across a man who only had a tin can and a stick for an instrument..yet the man worshiped God with all his heart...with a tin can and a stick...It was a cacaphonous sound to the man doing research. BUT it is not the sound God is interested in...it is the heart. I have been in all sorts of church services..from the very traditional to the very contemporary...all serve their congregations well. I grew up in the 70’s..the Beatles etc...I grew up to the sound of guitars and drums.....it would be hard for me to worship God through Gregorian chants..although I am sure at the time the Gregorian chant moved those who worshiped in that way. God inhabits his praises....it is unfortunate that you were so caught up on the performance side of the worship that you missed out on God. A man with a tin can and a stick can bring the presence of God through the purity of his worship...and the people on this worship team are no less.
Amen to that! Your words were eloquent and true!
