The idol of worship/entertainment in the Church : There are many believers who flock to churches that have skilled singers and music primarily to get entertained. Consequently, many of the believers dont realize that they are putting self-gratification and entertainment before true worship. Years ago, many churches would not even have musical instruments and people would flock to churches anyway—even though the congregation only used hymnals and sang a cappella for worship. Now, it is very common for pastors to budget a large amount of money to pay for professional singers and musicians in order to fill their church services with people. In my opinion, even though we are called to worship with excellence and skill—we have gone too far in the church and have mingled as a core value the entertainment culture of the world. At the end of the day, whether we have worship performed by professionals, use merely a CD or sing a cappella, congregations should worship and adore Jesus just the same—in spirit and truth—which is the only kind of worship God seeks (John 4:23-24). Those who leave their local church to attend another church with better worship, in my opinion, are often guilty of idolatry since they cannot worship God from their heart without being entertained by professionals. Jesus Revival. if true worship is dependent on music then the church is missing it. Notice in a lot of Ghanaian Churches and some parts of the world, when the lights go off, the worship leader most at times stops and the worship drops, or when there is a technical fault is like people cant worship again. , You shall have no other gods before Me. It is when we put something or someone the instruments, the PA System, the worship team or leader, the super start gospel singer first in our life, before the living and true God. Idolatry is the root cause of all other sins.
