Loudness In Churches.

They get over used and familiar so we have to keep a steady influx of new songs to replace the tired worn out ones. Whew, it takes a lot of work and effort to keep the Holy Ghost moving. You know you can't have moves of the Spirit without a steady flow of new music and hundreds of hours of practice by the "worship team." And if you're a small church, well you're handicapped right away because you can't yet afford an earth shaking sound system with computer projected lyrics. Welcome to the show.

That is why I prefer loud prayer rooms before service, because then the Spirit will move without all of the guitar distortions, irrelevant instrumentation, light swinging, and rocky music. When I go to church I want to get with God, not attend a rock concert.
