"Without a PA system"...
Exactly.
Why can't churches these days do without a PA system or amplifiers?
Actually, I have nothing against modern technology as such in churches, but I do not like lame "praise music" that sounds like bad renditions of "Air Supply" songs, followed by "slick" sermons that sound like I'm listening to a used car salesman (or a slick lawyer, for that matter). I guarantee that Jesus or Paul didn't come across this way.
There won't be any in heaven ..... we'll all have perfect ears and great seating...for those of you who prefer to sit.
Personally ..... It cannot get loud enough, joyful enough or worshipfull enough for me here on Earth.
That’s part of the reason that Mrs. Still and I started attending a predominately African-American church some years back. Ain’t no Air Supply songs there!
