I like you!!Originally posted by tyndale1946:
In my church the hymns set the atmosphere for the praise and worship... I ought to know I am the song leader... Could you have prayer and preaching without the hymns?... You could but why would you?... But you can have hymns without the preaching!... Just get together and make a joyful noise unto the Lord... Done it many times!... Then again after some good uplifting singing... and a soul wrenching heart felt prayer... Throwing in a little preaching seems to help!... Brother Glen![]()
I like you tooWhat I do have a problem with is when a church makes the singing time the main emphasis of the worship time(the preaching should be)...thinking that a certain style can reach the lost....making the worship of a Holy God an entertainment for man's ears,or pleasing to man,while losing the emphasis on the Holiness of God
yepper i still like ya!Originally posted by tyndale1946:
Caleb... Cute little girl... Hannah!... If I had pictures of my grandbaby Bethany at 18 months I would show them... Nice wife too!... Btw when I say I am a song leader we sing our songs accapella!... Been a song leader for 35 years!... Still like me!... Hymn are hymns!... As I post I'm singing a favorite of mine... Jesus Lover My Soul!... Brother Glen![]()
The way you have characterized those who make singing the main ephesis of worship, I can't help but agree. Anyone who does so with a style for the lost or anything like that is off track. I must ask though, what is your biblical basis for assuming that preaching should be the center or worship. How about praying? How about praising? How about edifying one another through the laying on of hands?What I do have a problem with is when a church makes the singing time the main emphasis of the worship time(the preaching should be)...thinking that a certain style can reach the lost....making the worship of a Holy God an entertainment for man's ears,or pleasing to man,while losing the emphasis on the Holiness of God.
I strongly disagree, and I don't believe you can back that statement up with any Scriptures. In fact, I would love to find a church with NO preaching from the pulpit, just all singing and praying and praising and reading the Word of God. My dad and I joke that if we ever start a church together it won't have any preaching.Originally posted by Molly:
