It’s Time to Boycott the Worship Industry

It’s time to stop mimicking pop culture.

It’s time for us to learn how to sing and make music again, instead of allowing others to do it for us.

It’s time to rediscover the proper place of music in corporate worship.

It’s time to end the Tomlinization, dethrone our jesusy American Idols, and once again foster creative beauty and artistry, especially in our children.

It’s time to make worship about the work of the people once again, not just a good show and an hour of vegging out.

It’s time to take a radical step. It’s set up to fail us, and there’s no fixing it.

The whole thing is nonsensical, anyway. There’s not real worship industry, anyway, only a group of commercial entities that must call itself such because their very existence requires it.

Don’t let them fool you. Corporate worship doesn’t depend on the mass production of raw materials and goods.

The whole thing started from nothing when our good Creator spoke everything into existence.

Our Redeemer was begotten, not made.

You can keep your worship industry. With one big book, a loaf of bread, and a little wine, we have all the materials we need.

Yes indeed.
