Proper church etiquette is to be silent and prayerful the minute you step into a church sanctuary. All churches I’ve been in recently have had a free-for-all, three-ring circus before the service begins. Everyone is chit-chatting and catching up on social stuff, kids are running around — it’s disturbing. All of that can be done outside of the sanctuary.
At least the women in our church dress appropriately; I’ve never seen one in slacks, and their dresses/skirts are tasteful and modest. That’s not the case everywhere.
Of course we have lost reverence within the church...most churches are watered down versions of truth that mainly history with little understanding of how to guide people to real salvation. This famous new at fhu.com is doing that job!
John Michael Talbot has a fastistic musican and medication recording, “Holy Ground” I’ve used it several times to break the ice in a group.
