Can we worship God any way we want?
Or to rephrase; Do we or does God decide what kind of worship is acceptable.
Short yes/no answer OK but I would love it if you would take the time to give your thoughts.
First a little background... I have been searching out a new church. I have read internet sites by the scores and I hear phrases like 'contemporary worship', 'lively worship', 'traditional worship'... but it goes even further. Now I find churches that get together for tailgate parties or even to watch the game in place of a service. Women's ministries that resemble psychological counseling more than anything God centered and 12 step AA type recovery meetings not just in church but AS church.
Over the years I have heard things preached about worship. Often centered on what God will not accept and usually leaning to the particular tastes of the pastor. In example tne preacher may believe that any tune set to a southern gospel style is OK while any tune set to a rock beat is not and is of the devil and not acceptable to God as worship. But it goes beyond just music...
So my basic question remains, do you believe that God cares what we do that we call worship or do you believe that anything done unto the Lord is just alright with Him and how do you express that?
