Orderly Worship
I saw Today's blip on Hot Metal worship. The entertainment factor gone all out, if you ask me. Jesus didn't say make a better show or music. But to make disciples. It is not about 1 hour show resulting in an alter call response.
Take a look at 1 Corinthians 14:26-40. Everyone should bring one of:
Paul goes into tongues and prophesy which are ignored by the evangelical churches which I'll put aside for now (grin). [I think the problem with charismatic churches is ignoring the command of v40: everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.]
Note that in the midst, Paul describe the role of women at church (v33-35): absolute silence (not just vocal but body language). Could this be the cause of our sissy churches?

- a hymn
- a word of instruction
- a revelation
- a tongue
- an interpretation
