I was not aware of the “worship evangalism” movement as such. But I have had that uneasy feeling in various worship services that they were “over engineered”. It’s obvious to me that in my own congregation (I am a deacon, Gospel singer and worship leader)we were moving to putting on the “Sunday show” rather than expressing our joy and delight in being Christians.

Thanks also for the resources in your recent Christian Standard article.

Sally makes some very good points. To whit: “Worship must finally become, as Paul reminds us, more life than event.[Romans 12:1-2]“

“Can Worship be Saved? Saved from the definition that it’s just what goes on inside the tent? From the lie that ‘worship is a place you go, not what you do or who you are?’” “[Jesus] affirmed that the worship of God is central to what it means to be a disciple.”

Good stuff…as a Elder and a Lead Worshipper is puts to voice some of my “uneasy” feelings over the past few years…and gives me alot of solid ground to reflect on for the years to come!
