Please, please do not do that, allow God's word to come forth without hindrance and the Holy Spirit to do His work in a atmosphere that befits what RC was speaking about.

A timely sermon. Many Christians take worship in Church for granted. In my church, some come late for service, dose off during service, come dressed inappropriately, chit chat during service, playing with their phones while the service is going on etc. All these they do in the holy presence of God. Would they do the same if they were invited to attend a meeting with someone very important like the King? God is above all and yet some do not show Him reverence and claim to be worshipping Him. May God help them to be faithful and fear God.

I have lead the worship in our church for 3.5 decades(just retired). I was gloriously, magnificently, miraculously, wonderfully saved at the age of 19. I was radically SAVED! I was in a rock band and when I became a believer through reading the Bible(Good News for Modern Man) I was able to appreciate the church's older music and hymns. But I also liked worshiping with more modern style music. We sang scripture songs, hymns, campfire songs, etc. Some of the lyrics I remember from then were not weighty but they still helped give expression to the love I had for God. If R.C had been in our fellowship he might have thought our worship was light and frivolous(or he might have not). Man, he would have been so wrong if he had. My heart exploded with love, honor, and respect for the God who revealed Himself to me through the Word...every time we met and gathered in His name! Through the decades of leading worship teams and congregations I have used old lyrics(1700's even) and I have used new ones. I may have hit the mark with song choices and I may have not. But the one thing I always kept in mind in choosing songs was that the Lord would be glorified and magnified in our worship times. Spirit and Truth. "Be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts". Ephesians 5:18 Peace and Love in Jesus, Y'all!

Many people make the assumption that “if it moves or blesses them” then God must approve. God often times will use a buzzard (a dirty bird) to feed His prophet because they are hungry. I suspect that the blessing(s) you received as a young Christian had more to do with your desire to grow closer to the Lord and less to do with God’s appreciation of the music you listened to. Would you agree that God drew you closer to Him IN SPITE of the things you mentioned and not BECAUSE of them?

My family was searching for a new church because we just moved to a new city. We made a list of churches to visit. When we were on about the 4rth or 5th church, we were already tired of looking. We prayed that if the next church is not right, make it evident that those doors would be closed and we should move on. Due to a mishap with directions we were 3-5 minutes late. Worship had just begun and we were about to go in. However, the ushers would not let us in. They said that anyone coming in after worship has started would be a distraction to the moving of the Holy Spirit. (I have several questions about that belief on how anyone could distract the Holy Spirit?) They were shocked when we smiled, thanked them and left to go to the next church on our list. The doors were in fact closed and the next church on the list became our church home. I have wondered how many people did not get to know God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit due to such practices and judgement.

Well no one can separate me from the love of God. It’s not even to say those churches were wrong, I don’t think the usher that was protecting the sanctuary from interruption, wasn’t bc the HOLYGHOST wouldn’t or couldn’t move, but that humanity would be distracted from the interruption that they lost out bc of the lack of focus of the person. Of course the word says, if you seek me, you will find me. So that was probably not the church for you, idk. What I do know is if the church isn’t preaching the Word Of God….they will doom many ppl…..but we are responsible for our own salvation. What we learn and love is what we need to share, not what humanity has done to fail us. Let the worry of the day be sufficient for the day! Quick to judge other, May God forgive us and heal our land!

I always try to be on time. But I have to be there a couple hours before church starts. I guess it could be a distraction to some people when people walk in late, however we do not stand guard at the doors and stop people from coming in during worship. We would never do that. It fills my heart with joy when I see a new family walk in, on time or late. No one is going to be on time every single week, especially if they are in a new town and do not know their way around. I would have greeted you and welcomed you when you walked in.

If any churches that opened their understanding to the Holy Spirit, there wouldn’t be such criticism of any kind of worship. People were made to move and God created man to worship Him as the Holy Spirit leads. The problem is that the ego always gets in the way of each individual. If people want to dance and wave flags they can do it in the back of the church and not disturb any of the message. It is al about ego.

Praise teams have replaced choirs and drums are the main instrument along with guitars to satisfy the youth and their need for a beat to sway to. They read from a screen lyrics that have been written by new christians, by the sound of the shallowness of it. It is usually accompanied by colored lighting and other stimulating features.

Max, I feel the same. You're not alone. I'm in my 60s and being in a church as been a big part of my life since I was born. I stopped going to church a few years ago and now have a closer relationship with the triune God than ever before, and more of a spirit of surrender. I live in a conservative region where there are many churches. The mainline large churches have gone left-wing and are dying quickly or have died. Small churches that have tried to stand true to the Word have very few members. They are dying also. Where have all the believers gone? To the many large, popular, youth-seeking mega churches that have sprung up, with the rock concert atmosphere, the rock beat, words on the big screen, and the pop church I was going to even has a smoke or fog machine behind the band that fills the stage with fog to artificially produce the effect of a spiritual atmosphere, getting people to think wow, the Spirit is present in this place. Churches like these are catering to the rebellious youth who feel "I won't go to church unless you give me what I want! I left and never returned when they had a kid on stage doing a rap song and he was dressed and moved like a rapper. I discern that rap and hip-hop is nothing but satanic. God's Spirit in me got me so uncomfortable with the whole scene that I couldn't return. I tried a few other traditional churches in the area and they were either dying or were popular, but deceived by the forces of darkness, like the rock beat mega churches which have compromised, brought in and embraced the pop culture, the spirit of this dark world, the enticement of the sin of Balaam, and have blended it with Biblical teaching. BAD NEWS. We are not to love the worldly pop culture but are to be separate from it. Now, I watch Through The Bible with Les Feldick and tune in to Transformed By Grace lessons by the Berean Bible Society each day, and learn and grow in the Lord. They teach and preach the truth of God's Word, rightly divided, and my life has been transformed.

I’ve been working near Pittsburgh. I decided to drive into town to look at old churches. While driving the backroads I saw a line of cars turning in a long drive leading up to a large newer Catholic church. Wanting a closer look I turned up the drive. The lot was full and people were walking toward the church. They were dressed like they were going to a sporting event not a worship service. I really didn’t think much about it. Thought it was cool they were going to church. I got to a neighborhood in Pittsburgh and sat outside an old stone church admiring the workmanship. After about ten minutes the service ended. The doors opened and I sat there amazed at how everyone of the worshipers were dressed. Men in suits and white shirts ladies in dresses children in their Sunday best. I felt something watching them and it made me feel reverent. The contrast hit me.

I’d rather go to a how of worship where people dressed casually but had the right spirit than go were people looked good but were all fake.

I'm from Auckland New Zealand. The church we attended was the Assembly of God. Our Pastor wasn't actually an AOG pastor. I was born again only a few months when my Father in law said come to this fellowship. I knew nothing of The Spirit, very naive indeed. But when put my first foot through the door, I was hit, so to speak with this heavy presence, which I discovered later was His Presence. The musicians always played prior to meetings, it was so beautiful, that very people spoke, instead we sat, most of us with our eyes closed. As it came to start the meeting, Dan Stradwick who lead Worship stood and immediately started with Praise. There was never introductions, no announcements of any kind. Upon entering the building the greeters-ushers gave out Weekly Newsletters with All details. We spent over an hour, with no interruptions. I thought I was in heaven, as Worship slowed down, we would all sing in the Spirit, the musicians too, I had never heard anything like it, and neither have I experienced this today. I cried all the way through,this went on for years. The singing in the spirit was so beautiful. I recall our Ps saying- Never go into Praise songs after we've been in Worship. He was a Worshipper. Sadly he went to Australia. We found another good church, until this Pastor left. Then In the nineties I became extremely frustrated with most of the new songs written. In fact I couldn't tolerate most of them. I would talk to God, tell Him, this is not the Worship You require. Today, the frustration has grown worse. I spend so much time crying, and saying to The Lord- Worship is all about You. Words that have no- Me, You or I in them. It's ALL about You Father.

I read something by Rico Tich that convicted me in the spirit....are we christians being selfish and unkind if we don't witness for Jesus? Do we love ourselves more than him because we worry about having awkward or difficult conversations with our families, friends and strangers about hell? Are we more afraid of upsetting people or upsetting Jesus? It's a form of denial, to care more about our feelings rather than boldly witness for Him. We need to get out of our comfort zone and rise up in defense of christ, get out there and save our fellow human from eternal hell.

Many decades ago, when I was a young seaman in the British Merchant Navy, and a very young disciple of Jesus, I learned this lesson in Melbourne, Australia. When I was in port on a Sunday, I always tried to attend a worship service - denomination almost irrelevant. That Sunday, I ended up in the Episcopal church in Melbourne - a massive red sandstone building. I increased the congregation by 100%! The vicar was there - and his wife - and me! However, it was during the communion which, as a Presbyterian was unknown to me, that the vicar uttered these words: "With angels and archangels, and all the host of heaven, we laud and magnify Thy holy name." I had an epiphany, as I realised that that vast sanctuary was occupied, not only by three human individuals, but also by angels and archangels, and all the host of heaven! Hallelujah! By the way, while it is true that "those who can't do, teach", my recollection is that those who can't teach are left to teach the teachers!

The mystery (power) of iniquity is held in self-deceit: those wicked (froward/disobedient) hardened hearts (that hold fast, unforgiven sin) which has defiled so many consciences, in these latter days! These idolators have accepted that Spirit of antiChrist from Satan, the prince of the power; heaping to themselves false prophets; having itching (self-serving) ears, through self-deceit. Only those tabernacles of FAITH in Messiah Jesus, with His indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, have kept that prophesied "falling away" (contempt of man's pride against God), in check! Now, "The mystery (power) of the faith is held in a pure conscience." This is a mind, heart, and soul found free, by the Holy Spirit, of willful sin against God and fellow man. Many unlearned ecclesias misunderstand praise and worship of God! Doxology is our oral expression of PRAISE, in singing and glorification to God. Obeisance (obedience to the commands of God), reverence, and daily sacrifice is our WORSHIP to God, as priests and temple keepers of Father's Holy Spirit. We worship Father by presenting these redeemed bodies Holy and acceptable to Him, through obedience that is seen. Our daily offering: priestly sacrifices to Father requires taking up our cross, this sinful flesh and crucifying its deeds, desires, by following Jesus in Spirit and Truth!

I tried twice to respectfully offer this feedback that my spirit can not even get into worshiping my Lord when I can’t even hear myself sing and the vibrations are literally attacking me it seems. And yes there are earplugs but we should never have to use them in the first place. So I’ve been going to another church more worshipful with their music tho sadly it’s farther away.

I’ve grown increasingly close to God the past month more than I have since I’ve been saved, and I am in terror for the congregation of the church I’m at. Last year in April (2022 it is currently Nov ‘23) I came back from a serious 3 year period of backsliding during a service at the contemporary church I’m at now and play just about all CCM on drums every service. I thank God I came back to Christ in this church but I am in trembling and in fear as of recent. Not to mention Leonard Ravenhill has been breathing fire in my ears from all those years ago as I listen to some of his sermons and I am just awestruck how irreverent some can be in a place designed for fellowship in the Holy Spirit, not a place for discussing the Super Bowl! Yeah Super Bowl of outward cleanness but dead bones inwardly! Pray for me, Pray for this church.

I am not sure what music this gentleman is referring to. I certainly don't want to limit the ways one can worship God. Some people like the traditional old time hymns, some like guitar or piano or drums, choirs or soloists. Some people enjoy low lighting and others like more lights. Worship can be somber or uplifting and exciting. The church I attend offers worship services with different music genres. Everyone worships differently. In some churches, even the dress is more casual. I think we just need to be VERY careful when we start being overly critical or judgmental or become TOO RIGID in our viewpoint. If someone isn't worshipping properly, its between them and God, and if they are a believer, the Spirit will address it with them. God looks at the HEART of the worshipper, and whatever music draws you to the Lord and brings you closer to Him, I'm all for it.

(For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.” And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I don't know this man, R.C. Sproul, but what I did notice was, a lot of what he has to say is directed in a negative way at (young) Christians? I am almost 84 and am always delighted to see any young person worshipping our wonderful Lord and Savior in any way their hearts desire to do so. Only God can tell what's really in a person's heart. Last year, I spent the summer in my native city of Liverpool, England. While there, I witnessed night after night, the pubs, clubs, discos spilling out loud music onto the streets, while young partygoers by the thousands roamed from one place to another, searching for something that they will never find there; 'real joy.' There, the churches are empty, being remodeled for high-end condos, etc. I think what may bother Mr. Sproul is, not so much the music, but that he fails to understand that young people are made alive by the infilling of the Holy Spirit? I too, was a stuffy Englishman before God filled me with his Holy Spirit, yes, even gave me that nasty speaking in tongues stuff. Who would have ever thought such a thing possible for me! The first thing it did was change how I worshiped. Mr. Sproul would not approve of me, I'm sure. I raise my hands and sometimes, just sometimes, I stand in the joy of the Lord and shed a tear. God bless

The youngest 5 year old twins who love learning about Jesus. The music is upbeat and the words to the songs are straight from the word of God my King James version of the Bible. My family including my grand child 17 and 12 are there with me. The worship and the messages are taught in a way they understand and I understand. Nothing is translated to help us understand it. It is applied to life today. If the music to some people is thought to not be spiritual or resoectfull, I will understand when I get to Heaven and speak to my Saviour.. I would rather see my family saved with a home in Heaven and not go to hell. Just my viewpoint

@@danacarbone9405 Exactly! I'm sure David's wife was not the only one put off by his manner of praising God! @HeleneTraver-mf1ty Just because a form of service or music does not appeal to you doesn't mean it is not of God or not pleasing before God. Our human sensibilities and preferences are not God's. What does not look, sound or feel like true or authentic worship to us may be deemed by God as more acceptable to Him than what we offer and label as "true authentic worship", so be very careful. Our incessant criticisms of things that make US uncomfortable and therefore labeled "evil" or "not of God" are what has impacted others (not just teens or young adults, but adults too!) from coming to a church building, a sanctuary, (as opposed to online viewing) to worship and fellowship and grow in faith with other "proclaimed" believers. There is a difference between new and mature Christians, between milk and meat. Likewise there are different ministries meant for different groups. For each of us Christ followers and children of Father God and Holy Spirit led worshippers, our biggest concern should be whether individually we're growing in faith, worshipping God with OUR whole heart and life instead of defining who's not! We're told to keep OUR OWN lights shining brightly so men will see OUR good works - our right living, our worship, our putting God 1st above all, our Christ-likeness, our fruit of the Spirit, our love for neighbor 2nd to our love of God - and want to glorify God themselves, asking what must they do to be saved if they are not. When we're face to face with God we'll have to account for what we did/didn't do versus what others did/didn't do. So let's do more praying for and loving on others than criticizing and ostracizing. That's what God tells us to do.

Be careful who you push away from worshipping Jesus. And my sister’s church doesn’t have a group of musicians, so they still sing from hymnals. This message can anger and push children away from worshipping God! You cannot use the whole Golden Calf story to teach us how to worship! Those people angered God because it was IDOLATRY!
