Some churches are becoming high tech and Hollywood. There's nothing wrong with progress and modernization as long as it doesn't hinder or quench the spirit of worship and it must never get in the way of God's anointing power.

In this mode rn day in some churches the leaders and those that work in the different departments of the church no longer come with a relaxed, restful, prayerful, worshipful attitude saying, "Lord, here I am with all my frailties and my inabilities. Use me Lord to your glory."

Instead, they come stressed out, pressured to perform well. They are critiqued by the congregation on their performance. In all churches we are torn between the old way and the high tech Hollywood way.

As a lad of a boy I sat spellbound and was moved and touched by little old ladies who could hardly read, didn't know a note of music, yet they would play and sing under the anointing of the power from on high; playing on an old piano that was half out of tune with two or three broken keys, but it was Heavenly music, because it had been touched by the hand of God.

And we were not sitting there judging their performance and wondering if she would make it to Hollywood or Nashville some day and saying, "Oh, there's old brother so-and-so's wife. Ain't she good!" No, because we had stepped out of this old vain human realm and into Heavenly high places; to a higher spiritual plain where there's no room for vanity, critiquing or being judgmental.

No offense intended toward young folks, but in some churches teenagers are in far, far away lands unless you are offering celebrity-style, high-tech, Hollywood hip-hop, contemporary music and they are missing out on the message in a lot of these wonderful songs and are being robbed of the opportunity to sit in those same Heavenly places. Can you say amen?
