A Prayer For the End of “Thoughts and Prayers”

Last updated on: May 19, 2018 at 1:04 pm By Jonathan Aigner

This post is a prayer, most of which I wrote several years ago after another mass shooting. The events that unfolded today hit a bit closer to home for me, mere miles from where my family lives. There are some that say they don’t want to hear about our prayers anymore. That’s understandable, but make no mistake, prayer is vitally important at times like this. They just can’t be the pointless, self-absolving kind that the church is used to praying.... Read more

Ponder Anew Mailbag: Which New Hymnal Should a Baptist Church Purchase?

Last updated on: May 17, 2018 at 3:08 pm By Jonathan Aigner

Dear Jonathan, “Enjoy your posts on Worship. I pastor a small traditional Southern Baptist Church that sing only the hymns and do responsive readings every Sunday. We are hoping to replace our aging 1975 Baptist Hymnals. Is there any Hymnal that you could recommend? Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks!” Sincerely, Wise Baptist Pastor Greetings, o wise pastor friend. First of all, I’m elated that there are Baptists who are still singing hymns, and even more elated that you are... Read more

Mother’s Day and the Church’s Dilemma

Last updated on: May 13, 2018 at 10:43 am By Jonathan Aigner

Mother’s Day is a difficult day for the church. A lot of folks expect a big to-do about the whole Mom’s Day thing. They want to be handed carnations, smile adoringly as the oldest mom present has her yearly moment of glory, hear that awful Proverbs 31 reading, and sing those hymns that might have been mom’s favorite. Then there are those among us, more than most realize, for whom this day is marked with pain, grief, and sadness. Some... Read more

Is It Really Worship If You’re Selling Tickets?

Last updated on: May 6, 2018 at 12:35 pm By Jonathan Aigner

A few weeks ago, a woman in a Facebook group pertaining to church music and worship posted a picture of two tickets that she was trying to unload for an upcoming event. A closer look revealed that these were tickets to a Chris Tomlin concert, except it didn’t call itself a concert. The name of the event was “Chris Tomlin Presents Worship Night in America.” And for a price, one could apparently arrange to get in. Wait, wait, wait! Is... Read more

There Are Some Things Music Can’t Do, So Let’s Put It In Its Proper Place

Last updated on: May 19, 2018 at 1:08 pm By Jonathan Aigner

I received this comment on my recent post: A Call To Reject Orgasmic Worship and Return To Liturgy. My name is Jason Houtsma and I actually wrote that set list guide for Worship Artistry. One of our members brought this article to my attention and while I agree with some of your points, I think you have unintentionally misrepresented the Worship Artistry community in your article. As you mentioned in one of your comments, context matters and I might suggest... Read more

How the Church Exchanged Worshiping God For Cheap Emotional Thrills

Last updated on: May 19, 2018 at 1:09 pm By Jonathan Aigner

Guest post by Les Lamkin. I briefly attended a church that, every few weeks, would drag a kiddie pool onto the stage, fill it with water and offer impromptu baptisms. One Sunday morning after such a session, the assistant pastor and I talked about their approach to baptism. She said, “We can’t find anywhere in scripture that says you must go through a class before being baptized, so anyone who wants to be baptized gets baptized.” Are the Catholics, Orthodox...
