I recently read this post about modern day churches that tend to turn worship services into a talent show.  I’ve seen this happening since I was a teenager.  My denominational friends would have those Sunday night services that tended to turn to a concert to the enjoyment of the audience.

“What are you doing?”  I asked.

“Showcasing my talent,” my musician friend would comment.

Reflecting on this I see that my friend back then and most of my denominational friends now, have missed the point.  Worship isn’t about showcasing one’s talent.  It’s a humble offering to God.  You can see this through early church music which was hardly easy on the ears.  Instead it was chants.

It saddens me.  It saddens me that so many are led astray by God fearing, but woefully mislead people. It saddens me that people look for a popular feel good church to go to, rather than look for a church that is Biblically sound which will give them the meat of the word.
