WOW - I was in that service! It was incredible and that is just how Campmeeting is every year at WHC! The problem is - getting in the building. Many people wait all day in line to just get a seat for the night service!

I wonder what happened when the organ and horns stopped?

I hate to be so pessimistic, but I'm getting tired of music-driven "praise and worship".

TD Jakes is walking around sort of like Benny Hinn there. He's got a couple of "body guards" following him, slaps his hand on someone's forehead, they buckle, the crowd goes wild. I even noticed that when Parsley (I'm guessing the fellow in the white shirt/suspenders who got on stage) got "touched" that there were a couple of folks on the stage sort of cheering him on.

And before I get blasted, I don't care for this anywhere I go. I am not against music, but music that pumps the crowd up is getting old. He was speaking of praise being a sacrifice? I didn't see much sacrifice going on, and all too often this is about as much as anyone is really willing to sacrifice. And, I'm just as guilty as the next guy/gal.

Maybe I'll learn if there is truly a place for it in God's house. Til then, call me skeptical. I don't think it should take cheerleading -- from the pulpit or the orchestra -- to elicit praise of that nature.

When was this, AB? This looked like older "hairdos" and I thought I saw a clip of Gary Oliver. That would have had to have been several years ago, I think.

Eddie has been there, but I never have. I didn't realize it was so much like Mississippi UPC campmeeting!! LOL. Eddie just came in here while I was playing the clip, and he said it's like that all the time. Lots of ex-UPC and lots of Black Pentecostals. I would love to visit sometime, but I wouldn't want church like that ALL the time.

I think there's a time for it, just like there's a time to slow down and worship. I wouldn't want it hyped like this all the time, but I think it's ok to just rejoice in the Lord. It was exactly like FPC in Jackson, MS on Sunday nights when I was there.
