Wearing a WWJD shirt or bracelet or making a joyful noise to the Lord with a guitar or wearing a shirt that says you love Jesus in a way that people your age can relate to are not sinful worship.

I agree totally with that. Even people my age enjoy that. In my life, though, I am seeing so much of the unholy worship I spoke of earlier that it shocks me. What has happened to our churches?

Very simply, IMO, many of them have been purposely taken over by non believers.

What has happened to our churches?

It is the spirit of antichrist at work. We don't have any fear of God. We're living in a fast-paced culture, consumed with the here and the now. We've erected an idol, a cosmic and jovial Santa Clause, and bowed down and called it "Yahweh".

There is no Jonathan Edwards. The 17th century Calvinistic seriousness and zeal for the true conversion of sinners, carried so faithfully and so valliantly by men like George Whitefield, is gone. It doesn't fit. It's out-dated. It's not hip. People don't like it. It give God too much and us too little. And that's why it's so vociferously maligned by the world and the "modern" church.

We are witnessing the historical penning of our own societal obituary. It will literally take a miracle to draw us from this pit of spiritual lethargy and its consequent moral decadance.

I stopped attending mass when the tambourines and the rock band arrived. It didn't mesh too well.
