I would love to hear your thought on this... First impression.... past experience.... current thoughts. What do you think? Is this worshiping in song?

I can only say - - -"White boys can't jump!"


Seriously, it's not my style. But then that doesn't matter, it's what they get out of it that counts.

But what are they getting out of it? They are singing about themselves.

If it's being used as a P&W song, it misses the mark, as it is about them and not God. If it is used to set the general tone (getting people up and moving) of the P&W segment, then in their case, it probably is alright.

My opinion, Prideful



Oh and have you ever heard the saying, "If a barn needs painting, paint it?" There were some barns in much need of work there!!

LMBO!!! Did you notice all the dark colors? They needed a LOT of paint.

Hey the guys from Queer Eye would have a field day with makeovers!!!

Seems they like to let their hair down and drink till their merry...

Come on....you never sang "She's a glorious church without spot or wrinkle" in TCOGNC???

[Ilovebigcats]

I sang it in NC, TCOG, and COGOP!

I realized, when I was old enough to think for myself, that MOST of the [cue- angel choir]blue book[/cue] songs have nothing to do with worshipping God. They are mostly testimonial or declaration. Tooting our own horn, bragging on our beliefs.... etc..
*ducks away from things being tossed*

I am learning what it means to sing unto the Lord. He knows about me already.. he wants to hear what I think of Him.

That song was sad to me. They really think they are pumping up a move of the Spirit. Sadness.

With hair like that, it's just GOTTA be.

Seriously, I remember that the UPC had some of THE most talented musicians and vocalists around (Marietta Wolfe my absolute favorite), but I didn't feel a "holier than thou" spirit. In fact Marietta Wolfe was one of the quietest, most humble people I'd ever met. But THESE people (on video) are just way too "in your face" for me.

Historically, COGOP was as self-righteousness as any, in the days of exclusivity.

I wouldn't presume to say if they are worshiping or not. But the song sounds less about Jesus than it does about them. But Paul said something about making much of his ministry to attract people to Christ. I guess you could say they were doing that...

Truthfully, If I had witnessed that firsthand on my first visit, it would have been my last visit.

I don't see much difference between those words in that song being used as worship than that song that has la, la, la, la, in it for a course line.

I couldn't see the video for some reason my youtube isn't working!

This may be off-topic but the song "Glorious Church" wasn't a CoGoP exclusive song! We sang that song when I was young in my Open Bible Church (no blue books there) It was just a song about how the Bible talks about a glorious church without spot or wrinkle.

I know it may have meant a different thing to some people in the context of some doctrinal errors that were present in CoGoP/ TCoG.
