I was only able to attend 1 night of NAYC this year, but it seems like the biggest take away was that they almost broke a world record for breaking the loudest decibel from an arena.....Who cares?
This is why I'm concerned. The noise level was the most visited status on Facebook concerning Congress.

If y'all don't believe shouting, or the sound waves emitted by shouting, does anything to molecules of air, then you should look into it.
Before criticizing Stoneking and calling him an idiot, you should read about the effects sound waves have on molecules.
Sound waves are energy. By claiming they shred the air, he's just saying the energy released by sound waves causes molecules to react. Some even claim sound waves could heat objects or emit enough energy to light a light bulb.
Bottom line is it does affect air molecules. He's correct. Y'all haters should read before bashing the man.
What does that have to do with fighting the good fight of faith? The louder the stronger?

Sister when was the last time you shouted?

Folks complain about this then go to some sports arena? Have rock music at church? Rock and rap music on their iPods?
Just wondering?
Amen elder.
As a student of history, let me say that there has never been a battle that did not include a good bit of shouting. that release of energy has two effects.
1. it encourages the individual
2. it discourages the opponent.
Im not a Stonking fan and can and have discussed from a purely theological perspective his doctrinal foibles.
This is not one of those. the blogger is a hater. So... what does light have to do with darkness?

There is plenty of scripture related to raising ones voice to the lord in praise. In fact there is plenty of scripture that relates shouting to the Lord as a form of warfare. both physical and spiritual.
So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.
2 Chron 13:15
Then the men of Judah raised a war cry, and when the men of Judah raised the war cry, then it was that God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

In fact the Psalmist David enjoins ALL THE EARTH to raise its collective voices in praise to God.
He tells the sea to clap its hands, to raise its voice. He intones the people to shout "with the voice of many waters".
He instructs the mountains to speak out and to fall on their faces. David in fact states that if the people will not Praise God, the ROCKS WILL CRY OUT.
