Worship wars

As Jim Swedenburg has observed, some churches emphasize worship style to the detriment of the message for which people hunger. He also cites research that indicates we’re the only place in the world that argues about how to worship. We join him in wondering why.

By communicating what you believe the Holy Spirit would have us do, our state paper can continue to foster spiritual growth and help autonomous churches rise above petty bickering.
