It could be that when you have a congregation that all they do
is run and jump and make a lot of noise and never have time for eating
the good Word of God, could be just a day-care center. Children at play.

When I was in elementary school, there was time for studying and a time
for recess, lunchtime and study hall time, etc. We were disciplined to obey
the rules and to learn to observe the time. Is it recess time or time to have
class or study hall, etc. Eccles. 3:1, tells us that "To every thing there is a
season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (the next several
verses tells us of the times. Then we read that "HE hath made everything
beautiful in HIS time". In time we SHOULD grow up (mature) in Him.

Paul said that when he was a child, he spake as a child, he understood as
a child, he thought as a child: but when he became a man (grew up, matured,)
he put away childish things.
There is some distance between being a child and becoming a man. Coming
to maturity. There is a process in between. Some never grow up.

Just some thoughts, no offense intended.

Different people show emotion in different ways - I for one when I am very emotional I am very quiet - others are not that way it that is fine - the point is not to say that shouting, hollering etc should never be done but if there are those to do not worship in that way they should not be labeled as not being spirit filled.
