What Ever Happened To Church Like This!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc_B8LAjVbI


Now this is what I call church! Blacks and Whites loosing their mind in praise back in the day! FYI: Rev. A. A. Allen exhorts on music, and Gene Martin & Choir sing "God's Not Dead" & "He's Alright".

Re: What Ever Happened To Church Like This!

Personally I don't find it appealing (the video content).

Our church does have blacks and whites praising together though - and that, of course, is great.

Minds do not need to be "loosed" to worship God. One simply needs to be sincere in the heart to worship God in spirit (inner man) and in truth (without pretension).

Same here...


Emotional sensationalism holds no appeal to me any longer... it's not how I define "good church".

Emotional sensationalism? If being excited about the God one serves enough to come to church and clap, sing, and dance with enthusiasm qualifies as "emotional sensationalism" then I will take emotional sensationalism any day over the dull, boring, dry, can't get your hair messed up or sweat in your suit, choreographed embarassment that passes for church nowadays!

You have to admit there's a difference between passionate worship and frenzied sensationalism. At least, I've sure seen and felt a difference. I'll take the passionate worship over the frenzied sensationalism anyday.

I think God enjoys our emotional enthusiasm.

Sister, I will never understand why people want to criticize relating to God in an emotional way. He created us with emotions and He Himself has emotions. I see nothing wrong with responding to God through our emotions.
