post two on "false dangers" - from The Dangerous Act of Worship, by mark labberton
2) worship that doesn't seem relevant
is relevance = contemporary, great sound system, projection screens, imagery, video, etc?
is it wrong to do these things? or is it more in doing them to merely seek relevance?
wasn't Jesus coming to earth as a human the perfect example of relevance?
can we be relevant and impact the culture with Jesus?
and my favorite quote from this section:
"I can find lots of people in this town that are like me. What i need instead is to find some people who are like Jesus."

And again with this one...no technology is bad in and of itself. It's when we find our identity in these things and strive for this relevance and the newest technology above the heart. The heart/gut checks are the most important, and the key is to be in touch with the relevance of Jesus Christ. The technology is a cool touch every once in awhile, but it definitely should not be the main focus. It should be toward the bottom on our list of priorities. B/c worship isn't about the flashy lights, pictures, and sounds. It's about the all-powerful and all-knowing God that shows up with or without it.
