Wow, Jeff, what a great clip. There really was a lot of shocking information in there. First thing it had me thinking about was worship. How often do we walk into a church before a service and it’s all hustle and bustle–people noisily chatting, running around–how different would that be if there was a hushed reverence allowing us to focus on the reason we’ve come there? Or what about our music? I don’t want to get into the worship wars, but what damaging effect (in terms of his four categories here, to which I’d add a fifth–spiritually) does overly-loud music have on us in worship?
Thanks for sharing the clip!
