What if our Appeal is Appalling?

[Coffee99]

It has always distracted me. I remember growing up and being in a place with God which was shattered when someone would grab me and shout, "just let loose" or someone would crash into a wall and knock over the chairs while running the aisle. It just always seemed like nothing more than a show - and RW, you are right, many wanted attention. I didn't go to sleep, Hoovie, but I didn't get anything out of it either. For me, it is like a diet of nothing but cheesecake and chocolate. Sounds good, but doesn't lead me anywhere good!

Reverence appeals to me. I also like the fact that many people who follow a liturgical form believe that their worship extends beyond the walls of their church and is a daily thing, shown through prayer and study, how one deals with others, and care for the less fortunate. In their view, coming together however many times a week at a service is a way to bring that worship together with fellow believers and show a "formal" appreciation of God.
