Worship: Who is the Audience?

This post popped up on my Facebook feed. I cringed when I saw it.

I don’t need some band member from what amounts to a rock concert to lecture me on what worship is….especially with the background is photos of band members. Regardless of who he says the audience is in this context, the band gets the glory and credit and sings to the audience of congregants.

God is not a beggar when it comes to worship. He will not take any crumbs we offer Him. He authorizes what is designated as worship and what He does not accept as worship. If someone does not offer what is authorized then that person is not worshiping God.

The problem with these churches (including the one portrayed in the video) is that is just feel good religion. “You can feel God in the room.” These so called Pastors can try to justify their worship by trying to say they are playing to God, when in reality they are just having a rock concert. No worship is involved.
