Deuteronomy 12:8-9 Worship

 8You are not to do as we are doing here today, where everyone does what seems right in his own eyes. 9For you have not yet come to the resting place and the inheritance that the LORD your God is giving you.

WORSHIP

“Much of what is called worship in today’s church really isn’t worship. It is self-focused, man-focused, and personal-experience-focused instead of being God focused. Much of today’s worship is measured by how I feel instead of being measured by how God was honored and worshipped.” (Guzik)

“Singing should be congregational, but it should never be performed for the credit of the congregation. ‘Such remarkable singing! The place is quite renowned for its musical performances!’ This is a poor achievement. Our singing should be such that God hears it with pleasure - singing in which there is not so much art as heart, not so much of musical sound as of spiritual emotion.” (Spurgeon)

Our church is a good biblical teaching church but there’s one thing I find very distracting. Behind the worship team are live screens that have televised  backgrounds, flashing lights similar to a television but on a much larger scale. I find it very distracting from worship. 

I’m unsure if it’s honoring God or if it’s man-focused?
