Mandatory chapels are an almost every day occurrence. I happen to like the late night-Monday services. I think they're cool. The campus pastor really works on trying to make it cool and relevant for the students. I can totally appreciate that. Having served in youth ministry for so long, I know what makes the individual's of this generation tick. Our pastor is young. Not college aged, but young at that. So, before services he plays sometimes unconventional music. I am not trying to step on anyones toes here by saying that it's right or wrong. That is completely up to you to decide. However, I kind of enjoy it. Obviously he doesn't play 99-jamz latest and greatest. We hear instrumentals and it really pumps up the crowd before the service starts.
Is this method always effective for instant worship? I'm not sure.
One issue I have with the whole thing is, the people that go absolutely irate when these given instrumentals are played. It's like clockwork. The track is played, and all of a sudden the holiest people recognize the song instantly. How does that work? I'm at a loss for words?! In any event, people need to keep their preferences to themselves. The same mouths that complained when the services had no substance and flavor, now complain about the song that's being played- without lyrics!! Isn't this insane?
I've never done this before... But if you have an opinion on this subject... Comment below. Im wondering what your thoughts are. Please, keep it open minded and pure hearted. We're not trying to hurt people in the process. People need to grow and if I can help someone grow then I'm a happy camper.
Discovering my dreams,
