Emotion is very much needed in the Church.

I don't know why you would think it's not?

There is a line between true worship and charismatic trash, which I think you're nudging towards.

Charismatic Trash? I have found Charismatic worship far more glorifying to God (at least the kind Im thinking of) than anything I have seen among Pentecostals.

See post 11.

I agree. He is probably thinking of the banners, battons, and ballet.


Joseph, don't mind dizzy. Rumor has it that her church youth group has a rock band. But, if you knew the community you'd understand. You may not agree, but you'd understand.

The old hymn book won't, it will not touch everybody.

Just to clarify something for you houston, I don't currently have a church. I just hate the hypocrisy surrounding what "church" is "supposed" to be like, when very few churches are having anywhere near what would considered a biblical model of a church service. Not to say what ANY church is doing is wrong, we have to adjust for the time we live in, I understand that. I just hate all the judging and finger pointing.

Bro Joe,

Take this worship session for example. Most every word is just scripture.

But BroJoe....that's imitating the world. The World has emotions.

In fact we are often TOLD to imitate the world :"If they can do it at football games for their sports team why can't we do it for Jesus?"
