> Michael Nieminen > It is a sad and horrible thing when any church worships the musicians or goes through activities for the ritual of it rather than for the purpose of worshiping God. I am sorry that this information was quoted about contemporary worship because worship of the form is just as great in the old liturgical services, too, but the manifestation is different. Often these things are simply defined as control issues. I think it would be good to say: Yes, sin reigns! Rather than single out one form of worship that may be failing somewhere, why not point to the worship services that are not only thriving but powerful tools for God's kingdom - and please make note that the good and the bad are found in both the traditional and the contemporary and the blended services.
