This does not even look like a church it looks like a Rock and or Roll concert!

That's one of my biggest gripes about worship in the 21st century. In churches both big and small, the electric guitar is driving out the choirs, organs and traditional hymns.

Even driving out the pianos.

What is a Church supposed to look like? Hint: The Church isn’t a building, or a denomination.

I am willing to live with the guitars and praise bands. What bothers me is that worship has become entertainment. One big gripe is when pastors intersperse their sermons with various video clips, especially from secular movies.

Why?

Because there were organs and traditional hymns in the original NT church?

I'm not a fan of the praise music in churches today. To me the main problem is it's watered down theology designed to play on the feelings of people. And there isn't much creativity to the lyrics either.
