It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
This could be a never ending discussion because there are so many nuances it's ridiculous.
I understand completely what Gabby is trying to say. I have no problem with modernizing church and making it entertaining. There's no rule against it. As I previously stated, I don't remember a single sermon from the Episcopal church because it was boring. They spent as much or more time on pomp and circumstance than teaching. By the time they got to the sermon you were already done 20 minutes prior.
I DO remember most of the things I was taught in the Southern Baptist church because they kept my attention (and I was entertained ). So using effective tools to get the message out is fine with me. Not getting it out is a waste of everyone's time. No one learns a thing.
What I DON'T agree with is, regardless how you get God's word across, it is God's word. His word. It doesn't change because society accepts things God does not. THEN I have an issue and have always had an issue. The left has and still is dragging our society down the toilet. They just NEVER let up on pushing us further left toward the cliff.
And when God gets in their way? They've been steamrolling and vilifying Him like they do anything else that does. The ones that are so arrogant they believe Man is God don't care, and the rest wait for some preacher to tell them it's okay to do it. I guess they think when they have to answer for their sins they think they can blame on the preacher
