I agree that modern music is more relevant, normally. But the real problem, I believe, is that the Spirit is lacking. worship should be in spirit and in truth, not just in truth.

House rules.... yes, let the host know if not coming, everyone takes turns leading discussions.... I really think that's all so far?

Yes, that is the greatest risk - bringing the problems of the OC into the house with us. I have noticed that people are conditioned to what might be called "congregation behavior" which is passive and consumer-oriented. We have not learned in the OC how to BE the Body of Christ, every joint...

Actually, a study of what the Bible has to say about music and singing shows that these things are incredibly important, valuable, pleasing in the sight of God.

I have a theory that everyone with a guitar in Russia can play and sing that, whether they understand the words or not. :P How about this? hahahah

Exactly. I think I remember this forum was started before you came along, watchman1, to talk about music ministry.

My spirit doesn't bear witness with her when I have seen/heard video clips of her. I just don't give her any attention.

I agree with what you are saying about this part of the motivational-gifts teaching. Prophecy is, Biblically speaking, about unveiling, revealing things that were not known, often about the mind and character of God and sometimes about people's inner lives and about the future. Again, I agree...

LinkH, it appears that people are misunderstanding your point. That's the problem with click-bait titles. They're distracting. :P I think your last sentence is your actual point: "Wouldn't one who believes that preaching and teaching is prophesying have to conclude that a preacher who errs in...

I like Rob's answer :) I believe very strongly that God uses dreams and other means to communicate with his children. In this case, these dreams could have come from your mind being worried about scary end-time events. Some of the things you saw don't go with what the scriptures say about...

Share about what happened to you. Speak blessing over others. Learn to hear from God and share what you hear. Intercede for the nation(s). Read scripture and meditate upon it. Love people who aren't worthy of love.

While I believe that of course there are many things we can do to worship God, music is a very special one. That's partly because it has no measurable outcome - it is something that we do that simply pleases God; it's between us and him and is not a work of service, really, for another person...

some that I am loving right now...... David Crowder Housefires Don Potter Bryan and Katie Torwalt Audrey Assad Matt Maher Aaron Keyes Amanda Cook Jeremy Riddle Leonard Jones

I have found myself attending a house church, and this is not what I thought I'd be doing, but here we are; my husband and I have joined up with another couple to establish this thing, and it's really different. We are..... Body of Christ Fellowship (affectionately known as "MSG" - Missionary...

I absolutely love Harp and Bowl, which IHOP did not invent (I encountered it before the KC ministry started), and I love the 24/7 worship and prayer at IHOP. Most people there from my observation come for the worship and want to be in that atmosphere so they go to the Bible college there so that...

First of all - I don't really like the term "praise chorus" - it trivialises 50 years of modern/contemporary worship music...... IMHO. And this entire thread seems to me to be stuck in the past. I like to "sing to the Lord a new song". My favorite thing is spontaneous music/singing. I...

I'll see your Rick Pino and raise ya one Jason Upton......

I know there are people like that - have had the dubious honor of leading some of them in worship as a guest.... but I don't get why they think it's unBiblical - there is no mention of "sermon" in any discussion of church meetings in the New Testament.
