Re: The Effects of A Loud Shout | Raul Alvear Jr.
If the heart is not right, even your prayer is detestable to the Lord. Shall we then forego prayer because someone somewhere might pray with the wrong attitude?
The bible describes worship and praise. Shouting is included, so if you don't like shoutin' you don't like biblical worship.
The bible goes further and COMMANDS shouting. Do you prefer God's opinion or your own personal feelings on the matter? Conform to scripture, be conformed to God's Way, and follow in the footsteps of all the saints of God who have gone before you, be a part of something far older than yourself, something that will in fact be eternal.
OR, harrumph in your seat, clamp your throat down, be mum, be "dignified" like the Pharisees who demanded Jesus stop all that noisemaking his disciples and the people were doing, and risk the same rebuke from the Lord.
Some people are so out of touch with biblical worship it's amazing!
Is there MORE than shouting? CERTAINLY! But just as there is more to parenting than playing with your kids, that doesn't mean we quit playing with our kids "because there's more to parenting than playing." Just so with worship.
Some of us got religion so good we can't help but shout unto God with the voice of triumph. And, sadly, some don't have much to shout about...
