It is striking to me that we here in America often want to make "worship" mirror the pervading culture so as to be more attractive to "seekers". <BR/><BR/>But if Christian culture is no different than pop culture, then what value is there in the Christian culture? People abandon one culture for another because they are looking for something better. No one trades something they have and are comfortable possessing for an unfamiliar something of equal value.<BR/><BR/>If Christians are to be different than the world, then it is only logical that they have a distinct different culture. <BR/>To mold "worship" into a mere copy of popular culture is to strip it of its distinctness and its meaning. <BR/><BR/>And I forgot what else I was going to comment. :|sarahlaughedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497856947371058556noreply@blogger.com
