I find Christian culture to be destructive instead of constructive, and I'd like people to think about why they follow along without questioning it.stephyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047873385595074389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-19566302589077154142009-10-01T08:25:33.716-07:002009-10-01T08:25:33.716-07:00Rather than pointing out various things of Christi...Rather than pointing out various things of Christian culture (including some that I'm not sure are even non-biblical), is it possible for you to focus more on Christ?<br /><br />I'm assuming you do follow Jesus, so please don't just dismiss me.

We call them projectors in Australia. We like to call things by less interesting names.<br /><br />Meagan I had the job as transparency kid. I remember the pressure of trying to get it right. And then when you couldn't find the transparency of one of the chosen songs you freaked out and thought the sky was going to fall down. It got worse when the senior pastor thought the same thing. Oh well.<br />You'd hope our elders would have some perspective. Unfortunately I've noticed that many of those who seem the most spiritual have the least amount of perspective.<br /><br />...oh well.Benhttp://musicfordeafears.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-53218173687316349292009-07-14T01:42:08.079-07:002009-07-14T01:42:08.079-07:00themethatisme - I think you may be right but don&#...themethatisme - I think you may be right but don't muddle a rock concert with realk heartfelt worship.<br /><br />Ashes09 - I take your point about the Psalms but I still think there is too much emphasis on the individual rather than the collective within church life at the moment.Still Breathinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978442035953135900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-108814846524392382009-07-13T16:35:55.396-07:002009-07-13T16:35:55.396-07:00I've never understood worship at all.

However it is important to keep a balance of old and new in every service.<br /><br />Too many songs are about "I". Worship is a corporate experience so, at the very least, should be about "we". However I'm currently reading Ancient - Future Worship by Robert E.

When worship gets boring, I like poring through the hymnal and finding interesting hymns from our tradition. And 99 times out of 100, those 300 year old hymns are much better than the modern praise songs that center, as you say, on "I." The old hymn writers--Wesley, Watts, Doddridge, et al, had a sense or grandeur that is utterly missing in these horrid modern creations.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776387418775994830.post-49031261778708939512009-07-11T16:10:14.952-07:002009-07-11T16:10:14.952-07:00I cannot WAIT for a post about youtube/podcast ser...I cannot WAIT for a post about youtube/podcast sermons!
