With love in Christ
John I'm sorry to tell you this but on this one you got it wrong. Now as far as the churches goes yes I wouldn't go to those churches, but as far as the worship goes you need to learn the difference because you're out of line even with the word of God on this one. And if I was in your face I would call you on it and then I would call you on it in public because you're wrong on this one every one of you are. There's a reason the Bible says Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord. Anything you do that concerns God, if you're giving him your all is worship, whether it's done in secret or not. I think maybe this time that's it's you and your cohorts that need to learn the difference. Now that what you do in secret I shall reward you openly, but if you deny me before man I will deny you before my father, think about these two statements before you decide that worshiping in secret is the only way.
I've told my pastor about how little theological worship preaching I've sat under. When I tell him that I've tested him, as a Bereans would, he initially was offended. However, I would come back and tell him I've been feed by his preaching, due to his being true to the Word.
I use his preaching as one step in my study. As I seek the truth, God fills me. I am blessed to have come under a man who doesn't phone in his sermons.
I just want to say Thank you for this message. It helped me so much. I get it now. Thank you. God Bless you ❤️❤️❤️.......
So are you condemning the 10's of millions of Pentecostal church members?? Are churches that sing somber hymns growing members, or encouraging modern generation to come along to church??
@richardhicks9914 I agree with you to an extent, but this is my own view on worship songs. Worship is a lifestyle, but you see, worship songs or worship atmosphere is a time to express love, having intercourse with your lover. Don't forget we are God's bride; worship atmosphere is a time of intimacy. That is why there is a lot of spiritual business going on at that time. It is a time of you just being with your lover, and he can whisper to you a lot of things. That is why it is important that the leader of this atmosphere is right with God because if they are not, they will only give what they have. And that is why some people will go to church and then go back home with a strange spirit which was given to them in place of intimacy. In conclusion, worship is a lifestyle, but worship atmosphere is a time you spend with your lover. Imagine the way you chill with your boyfriend or girlfriend; you will need to set the atmosphere right for you to enjoy your partner, so is it with God. Note: God is the originator of SEX; it's just that we abuse it a lot, and the devil has done a good work to make sex filthy, and at the sound of it, people just have different reservations. SEX is a good thing, and it is first a spiritual thing before a physical thing. That is why the devil is so angry with man because he can't imagine that God in his mightiness will fall in Love with frail human. This is my point of view, which I believe to be correct, but you can believe otherwise. I just want to put the information out there.
My momma told me to sit down and shut up when you go to church. We are there to worship our Lord. And not to draw attention to ourselves. It's not about us. It's about the one who saved us. Thank you for all you do. Say the name that soothes the soul. Jesus .
I whole heartily agree! It's about our Lord Jesus and not about being entertained.
Amen
Your mom was a wise woman.
Bless the Lord

In your heart if ur their to worship jesus is what counts. Is u want us to go to a satanic ritual instead..? I love loud worship. In heaven it's extremely loud. There is prayer and worship. I disagree with this. Way over judging. I'm there for the holy spirit to shower the holy spirit on me. 😠 now ur going to far pastor. Don't judge outside judge the hearts
They are giving all their attention to God. They are pouring it out. Cold worship with no feeling is not worship. It has to come from our hearts. That means being humbled to not care what others think of us for worshiping too loud or crying or laughing with joy unspeakable. We are commanded to love the Lord with ALL of our hearts and ALL of our soul and ALL of our mind. This takes effort. This means cast aside your inhibitions and let lose and worship him like many of these are doing. I agree we need to be careful but we also need to be careful not to misjudge anyone who is singing love songs to God and accuse them of only wanting to draw attention to themselves. I follow no bands. I like lots of worship music. I only listen to worship music. God wants us to do things well and he gave us creativity and talent. Better they use this talent for the kingdom than the alternative. People think watching sports is fine that has nothing to do with worshiping God and is all about worshiping man but sing in a style of music someone does not like and somehow singing to God is not worship?
My worship is being in obedience to Christ. My life is to worship Him
This is exactly what true worship is
Worship the Father and give glory to Jesus

”Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy.“
Psalms 100:2
Exactly...just because some of these in this video may be in error...doesn't mean we can't worship him through song. But...God does call for singing as a worship to him! Music comes from heaven. Who are the angels singing to. I don't agree with this Rock and Roll style of singing. We don't need to mimick the world.
If you ask me the german word is better Lobpreis means Praise. Praise god is what we do with songs but this is explains already why some songs are more motivational songs because praise is totally missing in many of this songs.
Singing and screaming are different things.
@@kayden7911 “Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music.”
Psalms 27:6 🤷🏾♂️
We got to pick the verses of the bible and share it to them because they do not read but talk louder then praises and worhips
My pastor used to say Emotion without devotion is just commotion.
And how do you know there is no devotion?
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD
@tetelestai860 it's devotion, devotion to the worldly views
@@sheiladandrea2453 In actuality I think they should just get a liquor license and open a bar. I don't see any difference in how they're acting. It's just entertainment.
@@sheiladandrea2453 John 7:24 says stop judging by outward appearance and start judging justly.
Let’s rather judge by the fruit not by outward appearance. If it’s not your style rather say so than condemn everyone that worships differently to you.
There is nothing wrong with emotion in worship - Matthew 22:37 commands us to love the Lord God with all our HEART (emotions) and all our soul and all our mind.
I remember watching a movie in the nineties right after I got saved about persecution in China. It was a dramatic movie for sure based on true stories. In one scene some friends who were part of the underground church there were meeting secretly and after reading some of the Bible together and talking about the passage they began to worship. They didn’t sing out loud because if they had they might have been heard by some people walking by the place where they were and could have been arrested. But even though they were “silent” they were heard by God. I remember thinking “Wow, that’s worship.” Because it was truly from the heart. That’s what God desires and deserves.
If you saw that then you should see here this is also from the heart. People are singing form their hearts and people are accepting Jesus as their savior at these shows. Worship is how we connect with teh Holy Spirit. We are commanded to love the Lord with all of our heart and soul and mind. For many that means singing the songs that move their hearts to the Lord as love songs. God sings back over us. The devil hates it when we worship the lord and is attacking worship by this video. He uses legalism and tries to tell us "those people are not singing from the heart" when we have no right to say that.
@@paulmerritt2484- 100%. It is not for us to judge the hearts of those who worship the Lord in a style we are do not prefer of even like. To lump all churches and believers into the same box because of the style of their music is flat out legalistic. How can I know anything about the people in the video? To know if they are true worshippers of God I would have to know them and see evidence of the Lord within them.
Good morning. What's the movie name please?
@@paulmerritt2484so you call it a show? Because I agree that it seems like a show too. The singers come up and play music, facing the audience, plays for them, and the audience has a great time singing, dancing and being excited. A great show they put on. But could you imagine Jesus leading a similar show? Wasn’t He humble, lowly, a man of suffering? Wasn’t he teaching, careful about His words and serious about His actions? Shouldn’t we always look to Christ as our example? Music wasn’t introduced into the church until the late 1800’s and was since then frowned upon, because of the people’s careful reverence for God, not wanting to influence others with sounds that stir the senses. They wanted the people to remain influenced by His Word and His sacrifice. It is not legalism, to stand up and say, this seems more like a rock concert than it is, a reverent act if sincere worship. The music stirs the emotions- even for non-believers. It has that power.
@@danmyers9372all that to say, I am not in the camp of judging other believers, for we all fall short, and we all need and rely on Christ as our savior. I pray for all Christians to cling to His Word, discovering what is truly right and pleasing to the Lord.
Pray for all those who are deceived. It is so sad because many in these congregations are truly searching for the Lord but they are searching in the wrong place and being led astray. Ask our Lord to shine His light and lead them to truth!
Amen!!
🙏🏽👏You spoke Truth. Amen. The sad part is we should all know the basics. The Bible says Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
James 1:5 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
The question is why are we going about everything leaning unto our own understanding. The masses do not pray nor fast and ask and counsel with God in all things.
We should be praying before we even read the Holy Bible to ask God to bless us with correct interpretation and understanding of his words. We have too many different churches (albeit they are all man made/false churches) and too many different versions of the Holy Bible. God is not the author of confusion.
I challenge everyone to seek God to know where to find his 1 true church that bears the name Jesus Christ as its his church which have 12 apostles he ordained and a Prophet with the Priesthood Power and Authority and they work in full unity of the Faith. Preaching and Baptizing every kindred, nation, tongues and people.
A church that is restored today from the original church that went into the Great Apostasy as per the prophesy of Amos 8:11-12. A church that is gathering Israel. A church with a direct line of Prophetic and Apostolic authority. A church that have no paid clergy. A church that doesn’t preach at the alter begging for money and passing around a collection plate.
The New Testament teachings is the full blue print of the Christ Church.
Pray sincerely and Fast to find it🙏🏽❤️
Best comment!
It’s less about the music and lights and more of a warning to those who deceive themselves with emotional manipulation that they can love this world and still Love Jesus!
Read the Bible. It is His Word. He is there and He is revealing Himself to the world. He is telling you who He is. He is proclaiming His precious Son - Jesus Christ and the tremendous sacrifice He made for you.
All you gotta do is read it.
You're right that both singing/music and private, spiritual acts of worship and obedience are found throughout the Bible as valid expressions of worshiping God. Some key points:
- In the Old Testament, singing, dancing, and musical instruments were regularly incorporated into worshiping God at the tabernacle/temple. Examples include King David dancing before the ark.
- In the New Testament, singing hymns and spiritual songs is specifically mentioned as a God-pleasing act in places like Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19.
- However, true worship is not limited to just the external, communal acts. As the text mentions, worship also includes private, internal acts like denying oneself temptations and obeying God secretly without recognition from others.
- Both the public, communal expressions (singing, prayer, etc.) and private acts of obedience and sacrifice seem to be recognized in Scripture as valid forms of worship.
- The danger comes when people rely only on one form (like the emotional musical experience) and neglect other important biblical elements of worship like obedience, truth, prayer, repentance, etc.
- Or when they view the external, emotive expressions as the whole of worship rather than just one part of a multifaceted relationship with God.
So in summary, while music and emotional expressions have their place, true biblical worship encompasses both our private devotion to God through obedience as well as communal praise through singing, prayer and other approved means. Both private and corporate elements, guided by Scripture, are important.
I like the explanation, thank you!
Well said.
Cooking brother!🔥

This is the correct answer. Ive seen many of the churches commented on from this video talk about all the things they discussed in this video. Sacrifice = worship etc.
This video is acting like these churches dont preach that. You can have loud worship and sound doctrine. Disclaimer: i am not stating %100 of thise churches preach sound doctrine. I am stating that loud worship doesnt equal incorrect gospel.
Did David, the man afyer God's own heart worship wildy, running around naked. Did 'religious' people despise him for his lack of decorum.
Hating on others because there worship looks different to yours ib my opinion is closer to being pharisee than understanding christ in his fullness.
However videos mocking mega churches will always get clicks, so i guess the video creator has succeeded in their goal.
I was at an actual Church like this because of my mom who brought me. The moment I saw the laser lights and fog machines I walked out
Good for you!!!
Musical Worshiping is different for each person and congregation. Some worship with a production and some worship with a hymnal and piano. Some worship in the middle of the road.
Congregating to practice corporate worship can have many flavors. Just like the many denominations of Protestants.
I’m not big on loud charismatic but do love a solid worship set that moves the congregation to the river of the word, the main message.
Just my 2 cents.
Lol. I bet they all raised their hands and closed their eyes.
Yahweh has shown us what His desire is in worship having humbled Himself on a tree for the sin of the world: "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God"?
Nitpicky... what was the cross made of? A TREE.
@@kickmuncher3. Galatians 3:13 ESV. Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree..
@@kickmuncher3 good point! My bad.
@@kickmuncher3 Uh, the ESV says tree, not pole. Stop trying to change the Bible..
Talking about judas jesus was nailed to a cross, judas hung himself from a tree
When it looks and sounds like a rock concert. It is
Yes.. but they are all so young. They'll grow in the Lord if their parents raised them the way they should go... Then those who serve Him will be picked as they mature
Yes, it's definitely a rock and roll concert. Witchcraft music,ask John Todd.
@@joelhardware4025 Facts he says it was brought in to destroy the fundamental church and it sure has people started teaching less and singing more.
Nothing wrong with praising God with fancy lights and drums and guitars.
The problem with your assessment is there have been Christian metal bands that have performed at secular concerts and took time out of their set list to speak the gospel to crowds of non believers. So just because it looks like a rock concert, doesn’t mean God can’t move at that “rock concert”
I’ve watched hundreds of Christian videos in the last few weeks and this may be THE MOST IMPORTANT one!
Praise Jesus!
Wow, just wow! Praise the Lord for Biblical teaching!
Someone who I was building a friendship with within my church decided to purchase tickets to Elevation Church's concert for my birthday in February 2024… I wanted to decline the offer and suggest something else, but I felt terrible when I learned she already paid for the tickets and her husband was already watching the boys. I felt stuck.
The concert was lively and “entertaining” and some people were actually crying and worshipping, but deep inside it felt all wrong. I didn't feel like the Lord was getting ALL the praise. What I witnessed was some people overcome with everything in the concert-- lights, emotions, the crowd, etc. I even cried, but I focused on praising the Lord… I'm sure some people did that as well. I was also sad because someone cared to make my birthday special when most of my family had forgotten.
Blessed belated birthday. Another year added onto you by our Heavenly Father. May His peace be with you.
@intro8172 I appreciate that, thank you.
Those are normal feeling we get when we worship in church also. The lights look cool but do not affect our hearts to make false worshipers. All that you see there is for the Glory of God. All that creativity came from him. I woudl never ever clap for any singer or band. Jesus gets all the glory. Elevation worship is reaching hearts and bringing people to Jesus. Listen to Brandon Lake "Gratitude" and tell me that is not a love song to God! This is a celebration of Jesus. If you won the lottery would you dance and jump up and down? Sure you would. Anyone would. How much more joyful should we be for eternal salvation and the love of Jesus? I will say do pay attention to that inner voice of the Holy Spirit and if he convicts you not to go then you did the right thing. I am not judging you at all. I think these shows get a bad rap. I also have yet to hear a sermon without errors in it. I have yet to see a perfect Christian. Doing this is sure better than going to a sports game where people are worshiped.
Buy tickets to worship God?!😮
To be friends with the world is enemy with God. If you want a real relationship with someone then tell them the truth.
I used to love this type of worship when I was a teenager/early 20’s. Then I started growing in my faith and learning more. The Lord started convicting me. I noticed the lights were bright, the band was loud and the people were standing still. Afraid to lift their hands up. Then, the church started having camera men running around on stage during worship. I realized, this isn’t worship. It’s pretend, outward projection that the Pharisees were doing in Jesus’s day.
I am not a megachurch fan, i am
Very careful who i listen to, but what about verses where it says to sing ? I got saved cause i went to the church (my husband’s brother is a Pastor). A song came up and it hit me and i began to cry and gave my life to Jesus. And my love has been growing since then. I always wanted to write a song for Him myself. Worshipping shouldn’t be only singing but it is definitely a way to worship. You just have to be careful what you listen too. Celebrities throw big pointless concerts so why can’t we have a big concert for our God ?
Agree, it’s about intention and humility, worshipping and praising God should always be about Jesus not ourselves!
Once God said: I cannot stand the noise of your songs.
Amos 5 (King James version):
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
@@NICEFINENEWROBOT read the whole passage. It doesn’t mean we can’t sing. David sang to the Lord. God created music for us to worship him. I believe when you listen to the gospel songs, it has to align with the Word of God.
Psalm 98:4-9 says to make a joyful noise unto the Lord with instruments and singing though… it’s about intention
@@MsKristinaC yes but matters more is our heart not the beauty or how enormous the worship is , our hearts validates our worship
John Henry, please remember me in prayer. Battling!!! Thank you
🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Love ya buddy
🙏🙏🙏
When Jesus died, he gave you the full right to pray for yourself. You don't need a mediator. You can go directly to Jesus with a repenting heart, and you will be better.
I dance and sing and get loud when I am in my home by myself. It’s my way of expressing my love for my Father , I am His child I get happy and excited because I’m in relationship with Him, I celebrate what He has done and I just get excited. This is not worship it’s just me celebrating the joy of being a Child of God. My husband passed away recently and I am devastated I am sad I am grieving and I will dance and sing because he went to glory . I am a mess and with tears running down my face I sing and speak out the psalms and I even dance and I do this between my Father and I, no one else is part of this just my Abba and myself.
Prayers for you Carol
That's what Jesus preached: (Sermon on the mount)
Matthew 6:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.
I walked in a hillsong church just once. I immediately heard the opening riff to spirit in the sky by Dr. And the medics. I got up told them all to find a proper church and not a disco and walked out. Can you believe that? My dear lord.
Actually I can. It shows you who they truly worship.
Disco is right. There is a lack of humility and sincere respect for God in these disco churches.
is spirit in the sky not a christian song ?
@@baracapyy It is not. It's referencing Satan.

Singing = worship
Praying = worship
Reading = worship
Serving = worship
Eating = worship
Working = worship
Creating = worship
Resting = worship
Worship isn't only singing. (1 Cor 10:31; Col 3:17)
Also I always thought something was wrong with me because I never liked that kind of Christian music. Even after I got saved it just fell flat for me and I felt nothing and begin to question my own salvation! Because everyone cries and gets so emotional and I felt nothing. Now I know why! Most are just pop songs! The goodies are the ones that move me. Like He’s Alive, amazing grace, That’s My Child etc. those get me every time. Mary Did You Know. Another great one.
Yep. My family always thought I was being critical when I told them “I just don’t believe Bethel worship”. I can’t stand Reckless love. It’s fake.
Hillsong church, same thing. There has always been something about it that just seemed like a fake song, fake worship, fake music. All for show. Never could put my finger on it, I just didn’t ‘believe it’.
Amazing Grace, My Chains are gone- I’ll sing that without acapella in the car alone! Love that song. Bless you!
@@tekmouse Alas some members of our congregation are fond of these and continually bring them in in all naivity and unaware of the meaning of the words because their English isn't up to date or the translation has chhanged the meaning. So they judge, it sounds pleasant, so we sing it. And then the old established and proven songs disappear. And the whole worship thing sounds to me like zombies singing.
I used to stand silently. I didn’t know. I didn’t understand. I have since discovered that the Lord made me a dancer. That is my worship. I rejoice in it.
Which is greater: You discovering you enjoy giving God the worship style you enjoy, or seeking what God authorized as sacred worship to Him & obediently serving in His worship?
@@JC-Genesis15.6Who are you to judge someone else’s worship? Did David not dance? Did the Israelites not sing songs and play instruments after their exodus? If this person reaches closer to God through dance, an ability granted to us by our Heavenly Father, who are you to try and mold them in your gross and limited image?
Amen!! Praise the Lord!
It’s However the Lord and the Holy Spirit Leading you !!!
”Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:
Praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
Praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.“
Psalm 150:
@@JC-Genesis15.6 Psalms 150:4-6
"Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
Dancing is sacred
Oh boy, "worship is singing praises" vs "worship is submitting our lives and hearts to God". Why is everything always a "pick a side" debate. Why is it so hard to see the point that without submitting our lives to God, our singing of praises, bowing down etc are just empty actions? They both go hand in hand
Literally everything is “pick a side”, you’re either for God or against Him. Do you really think a rock concert singing songs that aren’t really saying much but mentions God here and there, dancing a mimicking the actions of the world is true worship? Do you think that is something that would be acceptable to a Holy God? See, we always portray God as a God of mercy and forget that He is also a God of wrath. His standards are high, He will not accept just anything from us. After all, He is GOD.
You nailed it on the head, when you said SUBMISSION ✨️, that makes all the difference

Ive found as i got older( im now 53) i perfer more simple worship, no lights or entertainment, i find the more quiter the more i can hear God and feel His peacefulness ❤
I’ve had the wonderful privilege of being raised in a small church and was so blessed to worship with them in so many ways. Christians that have matured and been taught the right way, understand that worship does not only mean singing and lifting our voices.
Saying that, I have had the honor of experiencing worship music with a piano, choir, & and 50 member congregation. Small gathering but the Holy Spirit was undeniably present.
Now I have the honor of serving and gathering with 1000 members, paino, guitars, drums, big screen, lights and typically 5 individuals leading worship. It is a different setting from what I grew up in but one thing that remains, is that the spirit is undeniably there as well.
The reason I am saying this, is to say that I know the Holy Spirit moves in a small church setting and in a large church setting. But if we say that God is not being honored when worship leaders find talented singers, guitarists, drummers and specialist I would challenge you to read (1 Chronicles 15: 16-22).
My comment is not to say that this video is 100% incorrect but it does imply that this video is misleading and does not represent what every church shown in the video considers worship. It does imply that every church shown thinks that worship is only singing and no facts were provided. There was no biblical scripture to back up the claim either. We worship in so many ways and one of them is gathering as a congregation and inviting the Holy Spirit in.
Can we really "invite the Holy Spirit in"? Can we invoke God like some shamans try?
@@NICEFINENEWROBOT can we push away the “Holy Spirit”? What is the unforgiven sin? Yes, we can. However, I am not saying the Holy Spirit is not already with us but we can certainly invite/ask God and the Holy Spirit to show up in a way we have never experienced before. When we pray for God to intervene in a situation, we are asking Him to show up.
@@jacobglover9891Jesus never say where 2 or 3 of you invite me in my name I'm there. He said where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, I'm there in their midst. You don't have to invite him, you can ask for his wisdom and guidance but inviting him?
@@Geeekyqueeen hey, thanks for the question. I would ask you this, what is the difference between accepting, inviting, allowing, and wanting? I am not referring to a worldly vision. Our worship is an incense and we lift our worship to be a part of or accept what God is doing in the room and in is. We position our hearts during worship to receive the message given.
Hope this helps. Thanks
@@Geeekyqueeen I also want to point out the difference between being saved and Him never leaving and relationship. We have to be in relationship to grow.
Pure worship, worshipping God in spirit and in truth, by communion with God. Let us come bodly before throne grace to obtain mercy in the time of need. AMEN HALLELUJAH. PRAISE THE LORD.
Thank you for this one, John! What a tremendous relief! For YEARS I've felt BAD because I went to church and saw all the people with their hands in the air and dancing, singing along, and feeling inadequate....all the while not knowing why something about it made me feel really uncomfortable. I thought it was my problem. It was the Holy Spirit within me.
i suggest you read more of the bible on praising
Remember when that man beat his chest and said God be merciful to me a sinner? I just hope we become more like him. I’m longing to worship the LORD in spirit and in truth, and I’ve been praying this for my local group and the body of Christ. P.S. I’m one of the drummers ❤
I went to a store front church for almost two years. The pastor, his wife, and even teenage son and daughter were involved in worship which also was a band that played at rallies and other churches. They were very good and I loved some of the songs they did. Even ones that felt like real worship. But it was always before the service. There were times when I hoped we could sit there quietly and wait on the Holy Spirit to lead us. We always had a quick time in prayer. But on Wednesday nights was a treat. The congregation was allowed to participate opening up in Scripture, then ask a question or comment. Then others could participate until someone had the next question.
But later, for personal reasons, I didn't go anymore. I'm not going to a church right now mainly because I don't have a car. But I watch you often and like you having Voddie on there. And I listen to David Wilkerson and others like him.
I also want you to know that I'm a singer songwriter and believe in singing for the Lord, even at home. There are a few more songs that I'm meant to write. I've even shared a couple on your channel, I think. They come from my book called
Lessons From The Flowers
A bouquet of poems and stories.
It can be gotten from Amazon or on Kindle. I hope you get it and read it. Maybe you'll want me on your podcast sometime. Oh well, a person can hope. But I try to listen to all your podcasts. I like the way you teach. God bless you John Henry and the rest of the Body of Christ. Thank you.
Excellent video! Worship is not just singing, it is the way you live your life unto the Lord. This video was thought-provoking and very informative thank you, brother. I am so grateful for the fellowship I attend, the time of singing is very reverent and not a concert like most other churches. It is wonderful to be in a corporate worship setting where you can hear everyone singing, rather than lights, flashing, and drums pounding.
Humans are emotional beings, some seek a more emotional experience. But all must be grounded in the word, spirit, and that is sufficient.
Many women look for emotional feelings. And they say Jesus sits with them..and holds them.. I asked what does Jesus look like...and they said brown hair...brown skin. Like didn't I know this???? I still don't really feel they saw Jesus ..correct me if I am wrong. Please.
@@bananka4905continue to seek and trust the process. You are unique in your need and even your response
Imagine what Heaven looks like! Imagine being in the actual presence of a mighty omnipotent omniscient Father. We are all children in his presence.
I do agree that humans are 100% emotional beings, this is true. However, I do understand what this Pastor is saying. Worship, Faith, and whether or not we recognize God’s work and presence should not be dependent on how we feel. If that were the case, many people would argue that God was not there during much of their struggles and trials because they did not feel Him. Of course, the Bible says that’s wrong. He is always there. Their feelings may be real to them, but feelings must be separated from fact and our understanding/obedience to the Word🙏🏽. Not an argument by the way! Just giving my perspective 💕
@@bananka4905I think I can help navigate this topic🙏🏽 I fully believe that people can be visited by Jesus and feel His presence in close proximity to them. I have asked to feel God before, when I was struggling with my personal faith years ago and was trying to separate my own relationship with God from the relationship I inherited from family. I was honest with Him and told Him I didn’t feel Him and I needed Him to show me He was there because I wanted to have a strong faith! I was also going through so much mental, emotional, and spiritual distress and I believe God saw my hunger for Him was real and I desired to know Him on a personal level. I believe I was sitting on my bed crying and I felt a presence in the room with me. A calmness came over me like nothing I’d ever felt and I just breathed and I knew it was God. I DOVE headfirst into the word, wrote verses everyday, carried my Bible everywhere I went and I felt God closer to me than I ever had. I was at peace! I never saw God in human form, that I know of, but this is not be discrediting that some people do! It’s a bit of a slippery slope here because I do think that people saying they have had physical encounters with God has grown a little to be somewhat of religious trend. Just as hearing from God has become a religious trend. These things DO happen, but the Holy Spirit is the only real one who can help us discern when something is coming from God and when it’s altered or fabricated. I can’t speak to the story do these women. I’d have to know more about their personal encounters. I don’t urge anyone to take my word for anything but to pray and let the Holy Spirit guide you. Everything should be fact checked! Even the words we hear from our pastors. It’s not rude or disrespectful, but it is a vital part of the process in us taking accountability for our own salvation. And I encourage everyone to do that 🫶🏽 I have heard stories of people seeing Jesus in a physical form. The ones I remember most are stories from people who experiencing heavy abuse and were comforted by someone they belief to be Jesus, as they never saw them again and they disappeared quickly. I pray for discernment and I rely on the Holy Spirit to give me a strong feeling of spiritual discomfort when I’m hearing something that isn’t God led. Having said all this, sometimes, we just don’t know. I wouldn’t harbor too much on that particular situation. I would just pray for spiritual discernment daily and you will receive it. I want that for you. And I’m still working myself. We’ll be working until we leave this planet, but so long as we’re moving forward in knowing God and fulfilling our purpose, we’re doing well🙏🏽
My family fled a church that concentrated on their "worship" instead on teaching and reaching out to the lost. No one seemed mature in the word and acted like they were in highschool (groups)
I’m not going to a mega church with lights a band etc, but I’ve listened a lot to Elevation worship music and it brought me into Gods presence many times.
Please be careful what you judge. Only God sees and judge the heart.
Don’t focus on what you think is wrong, but focus on the good.
Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things. (Phil 4:8)
Please pray for my 44 yr old daughter and her husband to surrender to the Lord. Also, for their 3 children. That they will be raised in the Lords ways and not the worlds. Thankyou.❤
Praying now !!!
I am praying too, I know first hand what you must be going through! My daughter also needs to surrender her life to Jesus and her three girls need to be raised in the teaching of Jesus, our savior. Thank you and Amen!
Raise your children in the Lord and they will know the truth and return from their waywardness.
Love this video! Share, share, share ... Let's share the true gospel with all those who are lost. Thank you, Jesus! Amen, amen, amen ❤️ 🙏 🙌!
Are the t-shirts runs on a normal size? In some cases the large size runs like a extra large.
Thank you for sharing.
In my opinion, there is always a significant conflict between Pentecostal worship and Baptist church worship. Baptist church preachers always say Pentecostal worship is not spiritual worship and it is just emotional and fake. And even say it comes from devils. Some people benefit from these conflicts and upload videos and earn money from TH-cam that's their content
Thank you for this clarification. I really thought something is wrong with me sometimes when I am in church. As a construction worker I move from place to place now and then. And people never understand why some churches I visit once and never again.
I have done the same. One church I just stood in their doorway and left without entering. I just get the feeling God is not there. I don't go to church now. My brother in law preaches and I watch his Live stream on Sundays.
Why are y’all going from the church to church when all y’all have to do is fast and pray and ask God sincerely to lead you to his one true church that matches the full doctrines as taught in the New Testament.
Man have corrupted the things of God but he have called his true servants and have ordained them….a living prophet and 12 apostles with the power and authority of the Priesthood. They operate in full unity of God’s words. Ask and ye shall receive. No more wondering around searching and you not know where to find his church. God wants you to avoid the false churches and Come Follow Him.
Its like a worldly concert. I like old fashioned worship......
What’s up with TH-camrs criticising people how they personally worship their God
Exactly this. The judgement here is palpable.
Because God has never once said that we get to worship him how we prefer to worship him. God wants to be worshipped a specific way
Amen @@jeremiahwantsanswers2651
There is only one true God and only one true form of worship and service to that one God. Anything else is wrong and should be corrected. If correction doesn't work then reject it.
It’s not criticising, it’s the worship is supposed to be. Back to the tabernacle, that’s how you worship
The Bible says make a joyful NOISE to the Lord- we shouldn’t be judging different forms of worship, as different people worship in different ways and God doesn’t have harsh restrictions on how we PRAISE him

I was a devoted christian protestant for more than 20 years and nowadays, thank God, I'm a catholic christian and now everything I do, sing and pray has a purpose.❤
Welcome home!! ❤️
Some songs resonate with my soul so much that singing them is an expression of worship, and I think that’s what praising Him with music is all about. I don’t have to be around people to sing them to Him. So, all music isn’t separate from praise. Some songs are popular because worshipers have these praises in their hearts already, but putting it to music elevates it even more, and if that’s where you’re at, and you get loud, it’s because your heart is crying out in praise.
The Word says “ Make a joyful noise to God!! This is true worship I see above!!! This amazing and from heaven itself ❤
💚
Those people are into self and being admired.....there's a difference.
Music was so important to God the most beautiful creation he made had musical instruments built in him. Does anyone think the fall of Lucifer distorted the way music is used today? We worship God in our service with reverence and it is not a performance. It is Christmas centered music and does not look like a concert. As a person who studied vocal performance in collage, I often use that talent to worship God.
I TOTALLY AGREE THE SAME WITH MY CHURCH....THE WORSHIP AND PRAISE MUSIC AND SONGS TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR ARE GENUINE AND NOT A PERFOMANCE....AMEN....IT IS NOT A CONCERT....MY CHURCH IS TRULY ABOUT PRAISE AND WORSHIP AND TEACHES THE TRUTH....IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A ROCK CONCERT....NOT AT ALL...IF PRAISE AND WORSHIP IS TRULY FROM THE HEART.....OUR LORD KNOWS....PRAISE JESUS CHRIST 🙏🏽 ❤ 🙏🏽 😊
@@johnathanmarks3763 Amen brother! It is wonderful to serve such a gracious Savior. Blessings my friend.
@@vickyburton2434 AMEN MY SISTER..HE IS WORTHY AND SO GRACIOUS!
No matter what at the coming of yashua Jesus every need shall bow and confess Jesus is lord for this world is not are home. Come lord Jesus come.
Thank You So Much For The Reminder!!!!!!!
Thanks!
I just want to worship the Lord Jesus Christ with my whole heart, to have a closer relationship with Him.
Relying on the flesh to bring you closer to God will eventually fail you. It can help get people started and spark interested to attend church or learn more. But then as you progress, dive into the word daily you will understand the true worship and connection comes from a calm, silent and peaceful relationship with Jesus as you seek him more.
I wouldn’t write off all Christian music but I wouldn’t focus on it as the main means of worship. Use it as a tool and understand that the goal is to focus on what God desires through scripture and prayer.
Seek Jesus, put him first in everything you do and watch your life change for the better ❤.
For me, I've been to one of these worships places and I was shocked. God called us to be holy and be separate from the world. On my way home, i overheard two unbelievers talking to each other "Is that how they really worship? It's no different from the rock concert i''ve been too." I was like.. offpppff
There's a time and place for everything. There's a time to be quiet with God. There's a time to be loud for God. I think loud worship is valuable as well as quiet worship. And worship is much more than singing songs, but we shouldn't judge how a person worships based on how they sing a song. In fact, we shouldn't concern ourselves on how anyone worships... that's between them and God. I find it encouraging when I give my all to God. I give my all to everything else. If I'm loud during my day to day, why not be loud for Christ as well?
At my church they say were their to worship in giving, worship learning his word, worship in prayer and finally worship in song
This is one of my top sermons from Voddie. His Marriage Sermons channel rocks
As Christians, let’s truly normalize bowing to the King in our personal worship time to Him. If you are able, because He deserves that praise and honor❤️
LETS NOT BE PHARISES NOW! REMEMBER HOW THE LORD ASKED THEM IF THEYD SAVE THERE SHEEP ON PASSOVER (even though It would be against the law) LETS NOT FORGET OUR REASON AND MISSION, TO SPREAD THE WORD THROUGH FAITH AND LOVE!!!!
David leapt & danced before the ark of the Lord and Michal daughter of Saul despised him in her heart…..food for thought..!
😂😂😂😂😂 It ain't food for though this.
@@Criticalcomponent what do you mean?
David was both obedient and worshipped and weeped to God and repented when he sinned. Most of these worship artists sing God with their mouths but their hearts are far from Him and support worldly views of abortion, fornication etc.
@@mathieuswife3292 do you know them personally ? Do you have evidence of the fruit of their lives or you are just condemning based on what you heard or saw on some TH-cam video?
These are no Davids!!!! Sorry!! They act like secular bands. There has to be difference between us and the world!! Jumpsuit of ur shoes does nothing to define true worship!!!
Worthship is properly ascribing worth to God! It’s a life given to recognizing the worth of God! When expressed through music but it is has to come from a surrendered heart that realizes apart from Him I can do nothing!
Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
Luke 19
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
I'll shout it for the people in the back... THE BIBLE SAYS TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP THE LORD WITH INSTRUMENTS, DANCING, AND SINGING!
Yes, there are false teachers out there, but @TheGospelOfChrist, don't become one by insinuating that Christians should not be doing what God tells us to do! So what if it's a "rock concert?" So what if people are weeping, shouting, or dancing? If their HEART is in the right place and their bodies are falling in line with their spirit in giving praise to God ... again, I say ... SO WHAT?!
Let God be true and every man a liar. May God give you - and all of us - the words of wisdom we need.
AMEN 💚 We praise. How dare these people claim to know what is in the hearts of those performing these songs. If this type of music/praise spreads his word, how dare they call it anything but praise.
Also Philippians 1:15-18
[15] It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. [16] The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. [17] The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. [18] But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
Specifically when it comes to praise music.
When I sing praises I really do praise him with all my heart. You cannot take away singing Gospel song from my people. We even sing when we visit bereaved house. It's part of culture, it's how we comfort the grieving family, it's how we celebrate when people got married in our church or when something good happened to them... We praise and worship him through our songs.
Wow is right. If I was in church and heard all that screaming & noise they-call music - I would walk out. Lets hear a few instruments with audible words, & skip the screaming.
Church and electric guitars don't mix.
Dancing inside too. I think dancing is alright with family only.
There are these self proclaimed prophets then to learn of them I listen but they will start to yell also. Click!
I worship God and Jesus
@africaisking7817 yes they do. It depends on how they're used.
I would run’
We need to be careful about building our channels around destroying other people's ministries. It's okay for them to call it worship music. It's not worldly music. It's about Christ. Many of these groups have blessed me and I've been in circles where they were sung and they are not magnifying satan. I visited a church where there was artificial smoke sometimes. That church was so filled will the Holy Ghost that it set my life back on track to serving Jesus when I had no place to go and there is no turning around for me. Let us stop judging people. They could be out doing drugs and magnifying Lucifer, but they love Jesus. They might not be where you are, but for them to dedicate their music career to magnify His name, that is outstanding...especially when they could be devil worshipers. Even if some are weak, they still choose to stay with God. Leaders, you have to stop this. We all will have to stand before the Father to give an account of what we've done wrong and if we have turned atheists, and critics of christianity away from Christ, we are indeed standing in the way of sinners. Preach the Gospel, live Holy and show others how to. I don't want to see another channel sprout up that'd doing this. You might think because your channels grow that you're doing the right thing...not so. People love slander and gossip. God never told us to waste any time exposing our brothers and sisters. Just because they're weak, it doesn't mean that they are not of the fold. Cry out against sin without using people as a example...not unless the Bible gave us one to use an example. Where do the weak and the fallen go? Who can they go to when the ones who are strong have become their worst enemy. Yes, this is worship music. Lives are being transformed. Now, Leaders...teach people what real worship is. Knowing what it is and listening to this music while driving, cleaning, working will give them a full worship experience. This music doesn't draw you closer to satan, it draws you closer to God.
AMEN 💚
I didn’t hear any slander
Im a little confused about this, i understand some ,but im wondering should churches play music at all or what? And if everyone is worshipping at the same time singing hymns and praise in church, what's wrong with that?? I seriously want to know, I wasn't quite sure about the message of this??
I just disagree with the video because the people they showed were praising the Lord and from what I know, that’s what God wants us to do so I don’t understand the point with this video
@@artby_alyssaaI’m no scholar and i freely admit that, but in my humble opinion, the bible teaches us to PRAISE him. It also teaches us not to judge. So for me this video falls short of the mark for a lot of reasons.
@@AliCoxMusic I’m with you on that one
@@HoopTherapyCircleAccording to the Baptist church preachers, your quoted words are a kind of pagan worship, and it is not from God. It is devil worship. There is always a conflict between a Baptist church and a charismatic church (I mean a Pentecostal church). I have been a Baptist church member for years (10+ years ). When I go to a Baptist Chruch, I feel like going to a traditional Chruch like a catholic or Orthodox Chruch because the choir sings 2 to 3 hymns and the pastor gives Bible teaching like going to Bible college(not feel like going to Sunday worship ) I feel like no spirituality in it, just like a tradition every Sunday I don't feel a spiritual awaking in me. But now I go to a Pentecostal church. They have good praise and worship and preaching, so it gives joy to my heart.
every time i watch these kinds of promotional videos for large churches, a voice in my head keeps telling me, “They’re loud and energetic, but for the wrong reasons.” this kind of preaching isn’t what God wants for us. Jesus never screamed and chanted, He was so far from this type of behaviour.
when He mentioned that His followers are to be meek, i don’t think this is necessarily what He meant.
I'm gonna play unbiased and say, what's really the issue? Who decides what instrument is played... How loud it's played.... how fast or slow to play it? At what point it's played? Should every church mimic each other and which church should be the example?
With you. Only God will judge us, the big thing is we are praising our God. Why do we always debate among one another instead of helping many brother and sisters who are still in darkness
Wonderful comments, both of you. All I take away from this video is judgement.
That's not worship, thats jamming....😢
Hahahaha..exactly
We have lost the righteous fear of the lord obedience I remember as a child we sang in reverence to God we sang hymns tambourines we sang words that reflected Jesus salvation church isn’t flashing lights lavish stages pumped up music screaming it should come from a pure desire to love Jesus we will be praising God in heaven today it has become some club disco church please stand up for truth God bless You ❤
Im not sure i learned anything. Was i supposed to gather that if its music and loud singing its not worship? Are you saying that churches with a "worship" portion of the service are doing something wrong or unbiblical?
Exactly. This appears misleading and those who are young spiritually will easily be swayed and stumble. We have to be careful and instead of condemnation, be gentle in correcting their errors.
It all depends on the heart everyone could be up there for different reasons. If it’s to be seen it’s not worship. If your heart is truly wanting to worship God and you give your all. That’s worship.
Serving the needy and standing up for the oppressed is worship.
Saying this sort of thing are not worships is too extreme. As many people in, not only NT, but OT who dances, crying, etc, to praise god.
Worship is the showing of you loving GOD which can be done by singing and living your life towards him.
Trying to be like the world
Love voddie bachaum AND John MacArthur
TRUMP 2024!!!
Amen I also love John MacArthur and Voddie Bachum too.

When you said Trump 2024, i lost you. He and his lifestyle is no better than all these prosperity preachers. I am not a big fan of Biden either. I think Americans need some better candidates; Christians, young, energetic and forward thinkers - not what we are being dished out.
@@pintofamilyutube I just threw that in there because I was watching a lot of politics right before I watch this video
But trump is way better than what's been going on with Biden
Trump is evil.
I have for a long time that worship is in different form. Not in singing alone but we humans just describe singing as music but what i want to say is that our personal relationship with God matters. Now those songs they sing, we used them in our churches and they are anointed. The difference is the heart that is singing the song. When the heart is good, when we are in alignment with God, He accepts our songs. Lets not attack the song, lets make sure our hearts are right with God otherwise, we who are debating here might be rejecting what God is accepting. Lets watch that
I'm part of the band in my church, our pastor emphasizes that worship is a way of life, as soon as he senses we are playing from the flesh he'll take us off the team😅
I'm a metal head and juat wanna say i kinda cringe when they use heavy music in churches. I used to be very enthusiastic about bring loud stuff to church. But as i stepped back and observed i realized came to appreciate the traditional Hymnal with soothing piano or organ. It's not about the loud stuff it's about how convicted u are on ur morals, principles and acknowledgment of God
I’m young 19 years old and I read the gospels of Mathew, Mark, Peter 1 and 2 still haven’t completed the others but jumped into Old testament after the first four books and just reading the story of our Lord it takes a patience, discipline and wisdom to get certain revelations. But through it all I can see the truth that behind these churches who reach out to many they don’t offer truth, life or love for and of Jesus Christ nor show us how to have a relationship with God, they preach out counterfeit love, change faith for emotion, and the truth they preach is personal and not of our Savior. I don’t have the ability to quote scripture yet but I do know most megachurches consist of preaching hypocrites and false prophets who build a following of people who want the same materials as their leader.
Thank you John Henry an Voddie Baucham. Pray for me. I just love your videos on u tube. They help in my longing to get closer to Jesus an the Father!
This is sad they don't understand Lord have mercy
It’s interesting in that I think there is a false dichotomy of contemporary musical worship being bad because there are examples of inaccurate or incorrect worship.
But I wholeheartedly agree with Voddie’s interpretation of Ephesians 5 and don’t see the problem being music. It’s our heart. I have been to stale, “Word-heavy” churches that sang old hymns and had no real impact on their lives outside of church.
I’d say what if we view our time of musical worship as both an opportunity to please God and welcome His presence in our midsts, AND to unite our congregation in love and focus on Him?
Every church with older worship styles is not universally more mature in true worship, and every church/group that is in more contemporary style is not universally stuck in performance, appeasing or manipulating God.
Genuine worship is much more than our music but it is certainly included in our music. Maybe we need to work on refining the expressions we have rather than excluding people who lead others into worship in a different (not heretical) way.
That is their way of worship. There is nothing wrong with that. Yelling is the way of expressing your joy to the fullest, and I know God will understand that for sure. Let's not judge them with their music. That's a sin
wow. 🤦🏻♂️
Controlling your emotions and expressions and putting your will under his will is a better worship, if you need an external element(music) to be able to worship, something is wrong with you
@jcm89100 if you may, where did you read that in the bible?
God is GREATLY to be FEARED in the assembly of his saints, and to be had in reverence of all that are about Him.
PSALM 89:7.
Though i play music with my church on sunday, Monday through Saturday my face is stuffed in scripture, studying, worshipping God and living by his word. That is true worship. I only play the music to give God the glory, never myself. Its why i dont play in secular bands anymore. 2 bands that i was in, almost "made it big" but got shut down exactly the same way, 8 years apart right before we got a "deal"...i now see it was divine intervention as i was about to sell my soul for fame and $ without even realizing i was going to sell out like that...but God gave me the knowledge of how satan actually operates through music and everything in this world.
rue worship comes from the heart. The more time you spend with God in prayer and His word, the more your heart will be filled with worship for God.
There is nothing wrong with singing praises to the lord our God
There’s is a different between worship and Praise there are songs for worship in their song for giving God praise. There’s nothing wrong with either or it’s just understanding what they are that makes the difference.
They honor me with mouths but their hearts are far from me. - Matthew 15:8
I’m all for the singing and dancing and shouting it’s a beautiful experience to see so many people passionate about God.
But do we have a relationship with Christ outside of the performances. Do we allow Christ to transform our life. Or do we Quench the Spirit outside of church.
Enthusiasm does not save, many will say Lord Lord……Only those who do the Will.
This might not be your style of worship, but worshipping God comes in many form.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own lusts, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
Bible verse?

colossians 3-17
1 corinthians 10-31
There is no specific style apart from what the Bible teaches. Worship God in spirit and in truth
I saw a video recently that had a huge impact on the understanding of worship, i dont remmeber the guys name but he said that true wroship is not going in chirch and singing a couple hymns, true worship is done in secret, when temptation comes and you are all alone, if you dont deprive yourself of temptation and indulge in it, singong a few songs on sunday is not going to please God BUT if while alone you starve your flesh then thats the true worship that Christ seeks
What a wonderful truth
Edit: Well, the video I referred to is the one of the gentleman in this video😂
Praise God
I play it safe when it comes to singing in the church. Sing from the songbooks that have a book of the Bible, the chapter and verse. Now I to know singing is not worship, but love sing these songs.
I disagree with this. This might not be your style of worship but it doesn’t mean it is wrong. David praised and worshipped God dancing in an undignified way! As long as the individual believer is worshiping God in spirit and in truth that is what matters. Worship doesn’t always have to be solemn. There is a time for that. I will sing, shout, dance around worshipping my Lord and Savior. I like your channel but don’t get carried away criticizing a style of worship you perhaps don’t understand. God bless.

All the "worships" group mentioned have false teachings, thus false doxology. Because wrong theology equals wrong doxology.
What they are trying to explain in this video is that this kind of worship can be very misleading. The lights, the shouts, the whole atmosphere can mislead you into thinking that you are actually worshipping God but really, you are just worshipping man. Listen to the lyrics of these songs. Most of them are all about us and how we are so great & how God wants us to be great. Very few are about God & His majesty & faithfullness. I live in a country where the prosperity gospel is prevalent. I used to attend a very popular mega church in my country and this is how we used to worship. We even take popular secular music and add Jesus to it and it turns to a worship song. We even adopt the same dance styles that is seen in secular clubs including rolling our waist. When we are done with these dance sessions, you actually feel this high and you think you have worshipped God. Do not be deceived. David danced in an undignified way to show the unbelievers that he was less significant when it comes to his love for God. When you have to mimic the world's style of music then I don't believe that is an appropriate form of worship. Music is a very powerful stimulant. People in the clubs also have experiences when they listen to music with lights flashing. That doesn't mean the experience is from God.
The bigger issue is the words in the songs. Many of these songs are not centered around God at all. They’re centered around us and how we feel. And another issue, we think worship is music. If you look at the Bible there are only a few times that worship even talks about music. Worship is about our hearts and minds drawn to God. Through music, prayer, reading the word, talking about Him with others, etc. but it has to be about God, about the gospel, etc. Just because we feel something and begin to cry doesn’t mean it’s genuine worship.
David danced on the road and not inside the church gathering…. You must have the fear on God while being in his presence👀
Oh please DO NOT JUDGE, FOR GOD'S THEE ULTIMATE JUDGE 🙏
Voddy Baucham explains biblical Scripture in such an amazing way. Definitely my favorite Pastor! Thank you for the strong message brother John! Your video's have made such a strong impact on my faith in the Lord Jesus. Keep up the good work my brother.
This makes me think of where the bible says that many will search for the ears to be tickled… maybe just music and watching performances on Sunday?
I've been a subscriber for a while now and I'm so thankful for your videos. Thank you!🙏 I sent this one to my sister and will be sharing it with the college class in tonight's class.

@@Melanie_44. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!!! They go together not to be separated. We are warned not to be hearers of the word only but we must be doers also. It is our works that we will be judged by, not Faith. It’s all throughout the Bible and we should not rely on a scripture here and there to justify a certain belief otherwise you come away with false understanding. We must read and accept all scriptures and pray to have a correct interpretation and understanding.
@RealLadyG
Hello🥰
Faith without works is about justification before men "Nothing" to do with our Salvation.
(James 2:1) James is speaking to all the Christians who are already saved when it's says "Brethren's" just to clarify that part.
Works wonts save you, its shows your fruits.
Works shows you have Faith but works won't save anyone because JESUS CHRIST DID THE WORKS!!!
This is about our dealings with others AND God dealing with us.
So If I show no mercy to others like despise the poor, God will judge and Chastise his son(who are saved already)
Heb12:6-7(The Lord Chasteneth his loveth sons)
Blessing
@RealLadyG
Repent of sins, Faith plus works(law) for Salvation is a damnable heresy that is mostly taught by “MANY” Pastors,Preacher and Teachers with large followings sharing a False Gospel of Salvation that will lead people to perish(broad path of destruction) because people are “NOT” understanding the context and “NOT”rightly dividing word of truth as Jesus Christ is the Strait Gate and “Few” will fine it written in Matthew7(Notice the words “Many and Few”. Jesus says himself that few find the way that leads to life speaking of Himself as Jesus is the only way to the Father(John14:4-6)
All Scripture is true, Its always Faith alone thats saves unless you believe God made errors and lied to us in half of scripture like 1Cort15:1-4. Rom6:23, Eph2:8-9, Rom10:9-10.Acts16:31 and John6:47.
@@Melanie_44 Melanie, sorry but you couldn’t be more wrong. 🤦🏽♀️False interpretation is spreading like wildfire and it’s sad. 😢 The masses pick and choose scriptures and is in error of God’s words.
The Holy Bible is read like a man made novel with carnal understanding by the masses. God’s words as written to us are holy and spiritual. Correct interpretation only comes by way of prayer, fasting for the Holy Spirit to teach God’s truth and bears witness. If we all put on the spiritual armor of God we would be unified in 1 correct understanding.
Perhaps you do not know what The Plan of Salvation is. Nevertheless, let me stay on topic. Faith Without Works is Dead. God’s words is clear and simple, but most of us twist it to with our narrative. Well here are some of God’s words that are plain and simple. I encourage you to go to him for correct understanding.
Y’all ignore “works” as if it doesn’t exists and not taught in the same Bible y’all read. Here are some BIBLE references. FAITH + WORKS = GRACE.
Let me simplify it. Jesus purchased the most expensive ticket with his life (GRACE) so we can return to HEAVEN. We accepted the ticket (FAITH). We can’t board the plane to HEAVEN without a passport. WE have to take a Passport picture and fill out the application (WORKS), otherwise we will be denied boarding.
Revelation 20:12
12 “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” (KJV)
This scripture above is very clear that WE WILL BE JUDGED BY OUR WORKS. Whether Good and Bad. Most are deceived by satan that they only have to believe because Jesus did all the work so we can cruise on into heaven. False!!! False sense of security that keeps them in satan’s camp and their salvation/eternal life will be in jeopardy.
James 2:26
26 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
James 2:24
24 “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”
Mathew 16:27
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”
James2:22
22 “Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?”
2 Corinthians 5:10
10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
There are many more scriptures that confirms and proves that Faith without Works is Dead. Having Faith to receive Grace is the FIRST STEP, the SECOND STEP is TO DO. Action verb. WORKS.
James 1:22
22 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
We must come together as a church body together with the TRUE HEAD of the church THE CORNERSTONE!! HE is our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST ✝️
Paul Washer has a bible study about fasting that says that the greek work for serve or serving refers to both service and worship. He says to think of service, worship, or ministering to God like the Levites and priests ministered to God in the tabernacle or temple. I can’t explain it well but I think of offering praises like incense and lifting hands to bless and praise the Lord. That’s worship now to me.
I've been going to First Church in Wheatfield, IN for around 5 months now. They have expanded quite a bit in the last 10 years and I believe they've always had the right intentions, but their heart isn't always in the right place.
Their pastor overall is really good, he teaches from the Bible and he has very good story analogies that help put in perspective what we need to be doing as Christians. His philosophy is that you come to church to be transformed and conformed to God's likeness, which is what you should be doing every day anyways.
However, the past few months, I've been seeing some yellow flags from them. Not every Sunday, but every other, their worship team will include a song from Elevation, Bethel, or Hillsong, all artists that are proven hypocrites. For their Easter Sunday service, they included pyrotechnic fountains at the end of their first worship song. And lastly, I've discovered that their social media page has supported Ukraine, the corporation of Israel (not the actual Bible based Israel), and Juneteenth all in the last few years.
Them going to every length to appeal to everyone is what's been leading me to these kinds of videos. I haven't left them yet, but I'm strongly considering doing so if they keep things like this up.
AMEN 🙏🏾
Worship starts in our hearts . It's that we surrender to GOD and want to please Him and revolve our lives around Him. Then the verbal part is declaration of that and of Who He Is.
You can be loud or silent at church. But always remember, God sees the heart. No matter what we show outside, God will always look at what is inside of our heart whether we’re truly worshipping Him or just showing up for ourselves.
Music that is giving God the glory is praise.
Did this Furtic guy just say what i think he said? Did he really say "i am god"? That really was somethint to call him out on i think🤔
But many won't
I watched that message and you need to watch the whole thing to understand. It’s not how they made it seem in this video.
Yes he's a false prophet.
