Public worship reflects what is already in the hearts of the worshipers. No wonders are worked in the Sunday assembly which change me from what I was before I came. The quality of worship in daily life will be reflected in the corporate worship assembly. The inability of worship leaders to get the congregation excited can sometimes be more of a reflection on the spiritual lives of the congregation than the ability of the worship leaders. If we are not careful, our infatuation with consumerism dictates our focus in worship.
Consumerism works from a position of providing satisfactory services.
In worship, the customer is not always right. Consumers expect to be served on demand. Christians expect to serve on demand of the needs of others. When corporate worship is driven by the expectations generated by consumerism, we have a problem. If it is, we have fallen into subtle idolatry.
