Saturday Lagniappe: 'Are Worshipers Looking for More Authentic Worship....' And More


Are people today looking for a more authentic, biblical worship experience, void of the trappings of a high-production environment with lights, fog, loud music, worship leader subcultures and more? What is happening at Asbury and other college campuses may be urging us back to a better way.

9 Reasons People Aren't Singing in Worship
Worship leaders around the world are sadly changing their church’s worship (often unintentionally) into a spectator event, and people aren’t singing anymore.

Worship Evaluation Checklist
When was the last time you did an honest evaluation of your worship service? I’m not talking about just sitting around on Monday morning asking, “How did it go Sunday?” While that kind of evaluative interchange can be helpful, doing a much more intensive evaluation will be better at helping us give our best to God in worship.

Preparing for Revival
Revival is breaking out in various places around the US, a movement that seemed to have been birthed at Asbury University this month and is spreading to many college campuses.

What Every Pastor & Worship Team Needs To Consider Every Week
Sunday is more than songs – it’s planning, administration, prayer, practice, and ministry.There’s so many details to consider every week. But there’s something else to consider. And it’s more important than all the others. We’ll get to that in just a bit.

Should Men Still Pray with Lifted Hands?
What’s the connection between lifted hands and holiness? And what about lifted hands and prayer? Is this practice culturally dated, or is it a relevant one we should adopt today in our corporate church gatherings?”

Posture of Prayer
Why don't we kneel in our church while we pray? Why do we pray sitting with eyes probably closed and head bent?
While Susan Krohner writes from a United Methodist perspective, she does offer a helpful explanation of a number of prayer postures.
How to Pray
Prayer is a conversation with God (silent or speaking out loud) about anything at anytime and anywhere. You don’t need to use big or fancy words; just be honest and sincere.
One of the reasons that Anglicans and Episcopalians struggle with prayer is the mistaken belief that their prayers must be couched in eloquent language like those in The Book of Common Prayer.
