We’ve resorted to the livestream of our church services. The pastor is amazing and his sermons are some of the best I’ve ever heard. (And I’m from a family of ministers.) He also doesn’t shilly-shally around, but he also doesn’t try to make it palatable; it’s tough. Dad always said that if the congregation left feeling good he hadn’t done his job, i.e., spur conviction.
The music is “must-miss” drivel, and we can’t handle that. They have a “worship trio” standing on the platform, caressing their hand-held mics, and prancing around with their eyes closed. They don’t “lead” singing, or even try. (If I want to see a floor show, there’s a flight every day from Knoxville to Vegas.)
We considered arriving at church at 11:30 for just the sermon, but that would be rude. So streaming is an alternative.
One of the positive results of all of this madness is streaming and Zoom meetings.
One comfortable with the technology they do provide a quick means of enjoying many things.
