style and tradition

  

I admit, I’m a creature of habit.  I like to park in the same parking spot.  I’ve bought the same brand of toothpaste for years.  I even like to drive home from work the same way.  And there’s nothing wrong with that.

In fact, I think most people have preferences.  I think most of us have a routine - even if that routine is to not have one!  

Maybe it’s the fact we have so many choices in life that leads us to  getting so bent out of shape when it comes to church.  We seem to spend so much time arguing the drawbacks (or benefits) of so-called “contemporary services” instead of focusing on what really matters - connecting people to God. 

But I have to wonder, are our personal preferences preventing us from following God? 

God isn’t against traditional services, and he’s not for contemporary worship.  What he cares about is that we get to know him a little bit better then we did when we started.
