How are we to interpret that?<BR/><BR/>This man has some interesting points, but I wonder if he dangerously belittles the importance of corporate worship, which doesn't happen as much in a sermon.<BR/><BR/>More later, perhaps.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251123501809720083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25157226.post-65840887885023444132007-10-03T00:45:00.000-05:002007-10-03T00:45:00.000-05:00I think I'd have to side a little more with JulieH...I think I'd have to side a little more with JulieH... I think music (or art forms in general) are an important part of presenting Christ's message in a vernacular that modern society can comprehend. Its also acknowledging the CONTINUAL beauty in His creation... pretty songs and meaningful songs weren't only written during one time in history.<BR/><BR/>All that being said, of course music/drama/video/whatever isn't the only important thing, nor is it the single key to attracting a group of people, but it is indeed a factor.<BR/><BR/>I'd have to disagree with the original article that sort of callously states that its "ok if the people who want to be entertained leave, because we need their seat". If they are there because they are entertained and we FAIL to capture them with how we teach and how we act as a church... well then we have bigger issues than just musical style. To think otherwise might be tending to the 99 over the 1.<BR/><BR/>John nailed it on the head with adding that regardless of all of this, authenticity is another huge key.Jim Coateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655109730312089843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25157226.post-58949069773524569662007-10-03T00:13:00.000-05:002007-10-03T00:13:00.000-05:00My response is over on my blog. :-)<A HREF="http://blog.julie-h.com/index.php/no-key-no-bullet-20071002.htm" REL="nofollow">My response</A> is over on my blog. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25157226.post-89076229628403675032007-10-02T22:44:00.000-05:002007-10-02T22:44:00.000-05:00That's a pretty interesting idea John.

I think a lot of it also has to do with authenticity and being real also, all across the board. <BR/><BR/>I wonder what kind of answers we'd get if Parkview seriously asked (surveyed) our 20 year olds?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
