Quote on Worship
By Henry Neufeld From C. Michael Patton:

You need to read the whole post at Parchment and Pen to get the real drift of what he’s saying, complete with evangelical discomfort with a seeker sensitive service, a discomfort I share to some extent. I do think he makes some excellent points for people on both sides to consider.

On the other, many do well to consider why people come to hear the gospel under some circumstances, but not others.
