Worship in Church

Worship is something that should be unique to each person. Since it is a way to directly talk to God, there should not be any generic way to or not to worship. For some, worship is organs and pianos, singing out of hymnals and keeping it old fashion. To others worship is dancing and jumping around in aisles speaking words that nobody can understand. And for me personally, I like my worship with loud electric guitars and smashing drums accompanied by heavy vocals. Am I here to say that any one of these is a wrong way to worship? No. Worship is an outward expression of how we feel about our Savior, and saying there is a wrong way to worship is being selfish. In my own opionion, the only wrong way to worship is to worship without actually meaning it. That’s basically just lying, and I believe that there is no place for that kind of stuff in worship. I hear a lot of stories about churchs banning certain types of instruments in church and saying they of “of the devil” and personally I think that is a bunch of garbage. Those are just a bunch of old people sticking to traditions started God knows how long ago. But anyways, that was just a little side note. They can worship like that if they want to, but I will not be attending that church ever. Worship is all about a feeling to me and if I am falling asleep during worship, I’m obviously not feeling too much. There needs to be energy behind worship, something to motivate you. I’m pretty happy with most contemporary church types. I attend a mainly young adult church and am very happy with it. I can relate with a lot of the members and typically everyone is in the same interests. Summing up, personally I’m happy with most contemporary church styles, music-wise and execution-wise. But everybody is free to worship how they please and I won’t be saying anything against them, because I’ll be worshipping how I please.

My Testimony

Hey there, my name is Matt Faillace and I was lucky enough to be born into a Christian family and raised in a Christian household my entire life.  I was around 8 years old when I first realized what the pastor and my Bible teachers trying to explain to me.  I accepted Jesus Christ at 8 years old, but I never really understood what it was that I was actually doing. It took a few more years and some time for my thinking and understanding to expand until I actually got a firm grasp on what it actually meant to be a Christian. Even though I had grown up my entire life with my parents feeding me Bible verses for breakfast, I was about 15 when I actually got serious about Christianity. I realized that there are people out in the world who don’t have the same priviledge of growing up Christian like me and that I needed to reach out to those people.  It’s so easy to become complacent in our Christian lives especially surrounded by many other Christians. Once you break out of the “Christian Bubble” you can really see how many people are hurting and need something more in their lives. We are here on this earth to show those people the only true way to fill that void, Jesus.
