Interesting Worship Service
 

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Interesting ? Most definitely !

Worship ? That would be a far stretch.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

I have to agree with you here.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Looks like fun . . . except for the smell

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Another 'BAM' freak show.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Thought the same myself!

Found the song that the worship leader is singing...strange

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Hey !! Ain't that the praise team for the new gay church in California ?!?

:whistle

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

I have no issue with being contemporary, or being Oh, should I say it relevant! But I think at times people who engage almost becomes Worshiping our Worship.

What would they ever do without a techno beat, light shows, wild hairdo's, youthful contemporary leaders?

If they are ever thrown in the sea of spiritual formation and told to tread water spiritually they would drown not having learned the essence of worship, submission, brokeness and giving up your rights to run your life.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

WOAH! That is one of the worst things I've seen to try to pass as worship! That's the kind of assembly where the "worship leader" thinks, "Ok, so what crazy things can I make people do today? Since I have the microphone and all..." For our brethren that don't know, the song they were singing was an 80's pop song, they just changed the words a bit. That's not "contemporary worship", that's not worship period. That's foolishness, and I'm just glad that wasn't an apostolic assembly, although some apostolic assemblies are getting there. If I were in a service where they were doing that I'd leave... needless to say, I was the kid at Youth Congress who didn't give into their antics.

:ursofunny so wrong!

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

I'm known for such , just ask around. :whistle

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

There were a couple of songs infused into one song.

It's good that they were exercising to a song that at least mentioned the Lord. :)

"You spin me right round Jesus, right round, like a record Jesus right round, round, round."

Kind of catchy, kind of stooo-ped.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

With acts like this the world does not need us OPs to laugh at....that's down right embarrasing.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Concert? Sober party? (Im assuming)

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Wow....no Boy George and "Do you really want to hurt me"?

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Exactly.

I think that it could've been done in a way that was catchy, made sense, and didn't involve smelly socks.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

I am inspired now. I am going to change some of the words to Culture Club's 'Church of the Poison Mind' and make it a worship song.

Sheka boomba
BAM

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Disgusting

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Can't EVEN qualify for worship and, IMO, is pitiful music, too.

"Wave your hands in the aye-yair"

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

"We're having a Holy Ghost hoedown!"

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

The dude had a mohawk and was singing old school stuff...good grief

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Horrible! What an embarrassment!

Now THAT is charismatic!!

:aaa

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

That song would be right after "I Need You To Survive"...

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

It is hard for me to mock ANY step toward God, regardless of how feeble.

This would of course be a tragic back step for youth raised around Apostolic churches, I cannot escape the feeling though that for some in attendance it may have been a decision to attend this vs a "rave".

In which case it would be a step in the right direction.

Perhaps a seed was planted in the heart of one who knows nothing of Jesus but will now research.

Perspective and context.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

well guess they liked it...but me well....smelly to say the least....

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Thats hilarious!

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

This is a worship service for The Ramp in Hamilton, AL. While this does look a little out of control these are very sincere people. I have watched many of their services and have never seen this before. Usually it is very passionate worship and is not much different than many oneness pentecostal services.

In the south many youth from AOG, COG, and some baptist are going to these youth rallies and getting "on fire for God". Trust me if this was all that happened at these events they wouldn't have any credibility.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

I have been known to have some liberal leanings where this sort of thing is concerned (as long as God is in it). But I am seeing your point, Bro. Alex, on this one. It's hard to determine from this exactly what is the object of their emotion. I don't understand the socks thing! Extravagance can never be mistaken for sincerity! For all of their flailing and twirling and spinning and jumping, were they really engaging Jesus? I hope so. I hope that DeltaGuitar is correct, that these are young people that made a choice between this or a rave and chose the "religious" option.

I won't judge them, just making some admittedly judgmental observations as a spectator, not having been there nor familiar with who they are. This certainly doesn't inspire me, but my way is not the only way.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

I do not doubt their sincerity...not everyone is blessed with as much knowledge as some on this board.
I feel like I do know a little more about God but not in a proud way...it pains me that they do not know as much as we do. I will pray for them.

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

Me too! I so appreciate your humble spirit, Sis. Alvear. God bless you!

Re: Interesting Worship Service
 

I did my "evangelical-charismatic" youth pastor impersonation on Saturday (I happened to be wearing jeans and a hoodie, so I looked the part, lol)- it was hilarious... Some of the youth were actually surprised at how good a job I could do (it was funny because I was out of my typical reserved and conservative demeanor).
