Flip!!
One of our assignment in Worship & Liturgy class is to attend a service in one of the mega-churches and xiao-di kindly make arrangements for us to attend a certain church. It was a big group of us, about 14 persons??
I kept questioning myself if I went to the service with a pre-conceived idea of what it's like based on what I've heard about the church and its teachings ... and I kept asking myself if I had brought in my own biasness as I evaluated the entire service and its teaching (or lack of ...) ... I really had no answer still, although I must say I tried my best to be neutral, but yet what I've experienced, heard and encountered just makes me FLIP!
I won't elaborate the details here, but it's enough to make me worry about what sort of teachings are penetrating into the hearts of our young people and believers these days. I shudder at the thought of an inward looking, very self-focused, I AM IMPORTANT kind of teaching - where is the place of God, or does He even has any place at all??
