We've come to a point in time when a lot of churches will focus their sermons and worship not on the Word of God, but rather how it makes the individual feel. So instead of God being the center of our worship services, He becomes secondary to our emotions. Our goal is not "God be glorified," it is "I want to experience emotions and feelings that make me feel good."
So the question should not be whether or not a worship service is "contemporary" or "traditional." Is it God-centered? Is the worship and sermon outlined by what the Bible says or emotion-driven? We should be singing songs, hymns, and spiritual songs that are based on the Word of God: which weeds out the theology of Jesus being someone's homeboy and removes the confusion of whether or not a certain song is about a girlfriend or Jesus.

About this blog
Reflections of a Ransomed Soul contains the words of a young man who's been regenerated and redeemed by God through His Son, Jesus. You'll come across joy, sorrow, laughter, tears, clarity, and confusion--whatever the post may be, it's me being honest.
