Rant begins. A November 2002 Barna Research Report concludes that the so-called “Worship Wars” are a myth. According to the report, a mere 7% of Protestant churches have severe or somewhat severe music issues. What’s the real issue? A substantial difference of opinion as to the most important outcomes of worship. Senior pastors with congregants disagree on the importance of six of the ten outcomes. So, once again, the issue comes back to what God actually expects in worship. As far as I know, there is only one place to get this information. It’s not the opinions of senior pastors or the opinions of congregants. The only place to get information on what God expects is his Word. I’ve heard from some church leaders that “theology” and "exegesis" are not as important as having biblical principles (makes me wonder how they arrive at those biblical principles). Right! If we do not know the truth about God and what he expects, then who is it we worship? If a husband or wife claimed that it was not necessary for them to know their spouse or understand their spouse’s desires, friends and family would be shipping them off to the nearest marriage counselor. It is completely illogical to think that we can be in an intimate relationship with God and not know the truth about him and what he desires. Enough already with the myths and opinions . Get the straight skinny--the Word! Rant complete.
