Was pondering the whole concept of Worship today, & was thinking about how far the Church has come away from the 'old school' stuff... especially in the Pentecostal circles...
We no longer have annointed Lyrics - a song is a song mentality
We no longer can sing in Tongues - offensive to the 'Un-Churched'
We no longer allow free form 'spontaneous' worship - to time consuming
We no longer have the Gifts active in our Worship services.....
What has happened??
What has gone W R O N G??
Recently i went through & culled all of my Worship CD's i hav accumilated over the years.... I was saddened to find that there is only very select few i will b keeping on hand....as they are I believe annointed, Spirit-Led, Spontaneous & Prophetic....
I believe we as the Church need 2 come back to the FORMER 'type' of Worship that we once had in Pentecostalism.... Worship that pleased God... Worship that was in "...Spirit & Truth".
It was free from secularism, performance & had a 'raw' edge of reality to it....wasnt perfect, but pleased God.
Here's a few links to music im listening to:

"But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit (Holy Spirit) and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."
John 4:23-24 (New Living Translation)
