Worship?!?!

So what is worship and why do we get so hung up on it? Just last week I heard a couple ladies that were discussing how horrible it is that their church was singing so many "chorus'". I find this interesting since the young people ask me why it is that we sing so many "old" hymns. So which is it that is best???

I believe that the correct answer, is a very easy one. Worship has nothing to music and everything to do with words, and spirit!!

In the context of a sunday morning the important question is: who is it about? Are we singing something that someone of the street could join in with? When we sing old hymns, it never fails that I have 1 or 2 people who will come and ask me "what does the word ___ mean?". If people must ask what the words mean, how are they to enter into worship?

I believe that most people who want hymns, are not, often, people who are really excited and willing to reach the lost. They don't mind people coming to God as long as they look, talk, act, and think like them.

So where are you in this? Where am I? More importantly where is God????
