    Especially when someone invokes the Psalm 47!

    Do they not know that the word "clap" is to be taken as a single blow? It is the expression seen most often when one encounters something wonderful as a grandmother sees the grandchild for the first time, slaps the hands together in a clasp. Or one may slap their head when they remember something forgotten.

    Just any excess is excusable in the modern church, immorality, over indulgence, charisma, ... If it is all done "For the Lord" then it must certainly be approved by God. :(

    We visited a church in the past and several 'worship leaders' would get on stage and act like a high school pep rally was taking place. They talked often of how excited they were, and then pointed out that others just didn't seem to be as excited so 'boo hiss' on them. The church is now defunct and the newest ministry to take over is now mostly about wrestling.

    Excitement is not worship.

    Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

    This battle was lost 20 years ago. Our flush toilets mean that all kinds of innovation is allowed in worship.

    Yep....it's hard for me when I feel like I'm in a pep rally for Jesus.
    But I suppose the opposite end is people who are not excited about worship (I've also attended emotionless services with people reverently singing hymns without effect). Churches can go to extremes in both directions.

    I'm all for new songs....as long as they are glorifying God (and singable).

    When you come for the wrong reason, to be entertained, you will leave when you are no longer being entertained.

    If you come for the right reason, to hear the gospel preached and see souls drawn to Christ, you will stay and become a part of that worthy endeavor.

    Psalm 66:16 Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.

    I love to tell the story
    of unseen things above,
    of Jesus and his glory,
    of Jesus and his love.
    I love to tell the story,
    because I know 'tis true;
    it satisfies my longings
    as nothing else can do.

    I love to tell the story,
    'twill be my theme in glory,
    to tell the old, old story
    of Jesus and his love.

    I love to tell the story;
    more wonderful it seems
    than all the golden fancies
    of all our golden dreams.
    I love to tell the story,
    it did so much for me;
    and that is just the reason
    I tell it now to thee.

    I love to tell the story,
    'twill be my theme in glory,
    to tell the old, old story
    of Jesus and his love.

    I love to tell the story;
    'tis pleasant to repeat
    what seems, each time I tell it,
    more wonderfully sweet.
    I love to tell the story,
    for some have never heard
    the message of salvation
    from God's own holy Word.

    I love to tell the story,
    'twill be my theme in glory,
    to tell the old, old story
    of Jesus and his love.

    I love to tell the story,
    for those who know it best
    seem hungering and thirsting
    to hear it like the rest.
    And when, in scenes of glory,
    I sing the new, new song,
    'twill be the old, old story
    that I have loved so long.

    I love to tell the story,
    'twill be my theme in glory,
    to tell the old, old story
    of Jesus and his love.

    Bill and Gloria Gaither have written some of the best worship songs of our time without sounding like a Saturday night at the local night club. :)
