These guys are striping music and worship down to become exactly what the church needs today and that is getting back to personal worship and intimacy with our creator.
I would have loved to have had music like this growing up. This is music that you can actually "rock out" to while worshiping God. That is why the presence of God is so powerful at these "Baptist" concerts. People are hungry for worship and they come to these concerts expecting to worship and to feel God's presence.
Yes, the day has come that Pentecostals no longer have the edge on upbeat worship services. We used to be able to invite folks to church with our music as a way to lure them in. This is just not so anymore. At least this is the feeling I get down here in the Bible belt were every town has a Baptist church with modern worship music and the presence of God is felt but just not allowed to move.
All this is just my feelings and opinions. Can't prove any of it.  |
you shouldn't talk like that. you are uplifting the baptist while putting us down. for years they BASHED us for using anything other than an organ or piano - they are just COPY CATS ! don't forget that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
