Thread Name: The Hell of Worship - pitfalls of church music
Subject: RE: BS: The Hell of Worship
Churches are like supermarkets, parking lots, baseball games, cricket games... you name it. They let people in. The minute you let people in to anything, you get it all... there are plenty of ignorant, puffed up fools in all of the above. And good people, too. I'd be hard pressed to measure percentages of each in any setting. I go to a baseball game primarily to watch what's happening on the field, but I also watch the people sitting around me... family groups where the father is proudly bringing his son to his first game (with plenty of trips to the refreshment stand,) loud-mouths who think they are brilliant, a young couple enjoying each other as much as the game, old-timers like me... But, my attention is mostly focused on the field. Same with church. If I want to observe what fools we all can be,I can just sleep late and go down to the Mall when it opens. :-)
