Worship Committee Meeting
We had a meeting of the worship committee at the Presbyterian church this morning. I am amazed at how set in our particular styles of worship we become. I am amazed at how little we realize that God is the audience for our worship, that it's not about us and what we get out of it.

I am amazed how the older generation has no idea how to attract younger people to church. They think, if we just emphasize being Presbyterian, if we just educate about reformed worship, if we just do it like we used to do it when so many people were coming...

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. Much of what we do in the church today is insane! Mainline denominations scratch their heads and wonder why they are loosing so many people and not attracting young people. Will they ever learn?
