Light Shows In Churches
What are your thoughts on turning the lights down, and putting on disco lights and strobe's in the sanctuary during worship?

Re: Light Shows In Churches
There is a well-known UPC church in my region who turns down the lights in the auditorium, puts spotlights on the "praise singers" against a dark purple or black drapery type background.
I hadn't been in a UPC church in years and I was kind of surprised when I walked into this.

You get the power and real preaching back in your church you won't need that mess.Yes, I know Jesus met people where they were, but Jesus didn't climb the tree to reach Zacchaeus . If we keep adding this junk folks won't know what they are getting saved from and Who we are pointing them to! I sometimes think the Spirit has to be grieved over such stuff.

Re: Light Shows In Churches
If the power of God was in the building thingie called a church, there would be no need for gimmicks to increase attendance.

Oh the problem isn't power and preaching IN your church...the problem is not preaching with power...,or preaching at all OUTSIDE your church or at the very least to sinners INSIDE that church building.
Imagine...the Spirit get's grieved over spot lights? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Stinking liberals. How dare they do what the world does. They should be like the rest of us and live in a cave without our social networks, PCs, Electricity, Sound systems and all the other stuff the world is using. How dare they imitate what the world is doing
They should be like the rest of us and only imitate the world in attitude, like hypocrisy, hate, gossiping, lying etc etc
