But where does that expectation for entertainment in the church come from? Some call it worship these days..but all too often I see it as lights camera and action...and the worship leaders always seem to be into their role rather than that of lifting up Christ...it’s about their “performance”.
I agree society has become conditioned to being stimulated on a constant....be it attachment to forms of electronics and or “things” which entertain. It is rare if not impossible for most to “Be still and know that he is God”.
It comes from media, it comes from cultural mores of our society (from the family on up) and it comes, all too often, from the pulpit (a/k/a poor catechesis)
There is an old Catholic saying: lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi. It means: as you pray, you believe. And as you believe, you live.
Judging from your last post, I think you can see the wisdom of this ancient saying.
