Comments on: What’s Next for Worship? http://billgrandi.ovcf.org/wordpress/?p=374 Ramblings from the mind of a guy whose mind is always spinning and a spinning Mon, 06 Sep 2010 09:22:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: cycleguy http://billgrandi.ovcf.org/wordpress/?p=374&cpage=1#comment-1491 cycleguy Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:20:23 +0000 http://billgrandi.ovcf.org/wordpress/?p=374#comment-1491 K: Agree wholeheartedly! Jim: Interesting concept you suggest. I know I would have problems with it because I don't even text anyone. Wouldn't know how. But I also may not suggest it because the teens are able to text without even looking at their phones. There are enough distractions while I am preaching as it is. Competition is tough! :) But who knows what will happen in the future? K: Agree wholeheartedly!

I suppose to answer the question of what's next, you have to look at the Christian leaders of tomorrow. What are the youth listening to or doing? How about text message worshipping? Whoever is at the service text messages their messages of worship to God to the church's Power Point system and then it instantly posts to the projector screen for all to worship together. Since I'm over 40, I wouldn't know how to do that, but that would be a pretty cool act of worship. That's all I could think of.

In my early years as a Christian, I thought worship to be what happens when people come together and sing "about" God. It took some time and some educating, but it wasn't long until I realized that worship is not "about" God... Worship is "FOR" God, "TO" God, "Because HE IS GOD" You state it well also that worship is not a Sunday AM gathering in which we sing... Worship is a lifestyle choice, one that should be prevalent throughout the entire week. Back to your question… What does the future of worship hold? I have no idea... One thing I do know is that the center of Worship should always be God. So regardless of format, musical choice, instrumental selection, standing, sitting, hands raised, or on bended knee, God has to remain center. Everything else is our personality coming through to Worship God. God made us all unique and I think that we need to be careful in describing worship by outwardly descriptions... The true source of worship is the Heart. Worship is an interesting topic… In my early years as a Christian, I thought worship to be what happens when people come together and sing “about” God.
