I like that he addressed it as a business with consumers.
It reminds me of the Easter message my old home church had this year.
"if you really believe, you'll sell the product (Salvation in Jesus Christ) and be the best salesman God has."
could you be a little bit more clear on where you stand here? i don't want a plethora of readers to embrace an idea that you are not supporting or condoning due to accepting one of the several possible meanings of your comment.
worship music makes me want to vomit, mostly. i guess that is disconcerting, but i just don't "get it", anymore.
I agree with McLaren here. I do believe there has been a manufactured "experience"-"feeling" driven, satisfying nature of worship.
I also agree that I am most challenged in the presence of God, when I am observing a film, song, or piece that is challenging the way I think, live, or just am.
i thought it was funny that at the end of the video, it listed a website... after all this talk about business, consumers, industry, etc...
aren't we all guilty of these things?
i'm not condoning the fact that worship has become, in some cases, "an industry to cover reality." but me not being "real", genuine, honest, vulnerable in my everyday living is just as bad as a worship leader promoting Jesus like a color TV. what am i promoting?
hey - i did get to hear a choir sing a worship song last night, in the South African language, that I genuinely liked. so that is good news.
otherwise, i still prefer Bonnaroo.
and i agree with Stephanie. we love to promote ourselves, which is at the heart of "industry", it seems. or facebook.
I started to leave a comment, but it was getting to long to be a comment so I just wrote a post.
