The Loss of Reverence in Christian Worship - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

            Christian
worship has changed significantly over the years. Nevertheless, its vitality to
Christian life has remained. In recent years (and decades), I contend that
reverence in Christian worship has been lost. There are likely a number of
contributing factors for this loss of reverence, which I believe stem from an
overemphasis on consumerism, i.e. the church, to appeal to unbelievers, has
created an atmosphere of worship, which takes a casual approach. I do not argue
for legalism or for an impersonal relationship with God but rather for a
realization of who God is and subsequently an appropriate response to him in
worship. I intend here to discuss the dangers of Christian worship’s loss of
reverence. In my observations, three primary results have occurred, which I
will discuss not only as reality but also as a warning to the church so that
the trend may be reversed.
