Chris,

Apology accepted with great joy!

Re: Paul Washer. Perhaps he needs to learn and grow as we all do in the particular area of worship; both personal and corporate. Since these have been the days of the infamous "worship wars", and since I am dogmatically a creedalist and biblical traditionalist, anything that smacks of "contemporary worship" makes the hair on the back of my neck stand tall (I wish the hair was on the top of my head instead ). At best, the "New Calvinist" movement is a half-truth, which has been aptly said by someone many years ago, is worse than no truth because it is very effective at deceiving people. How a person lives is nothing less than a reflection of what a person believes... more so, what a person IS (Prov 23:7). And nothing is more expressive of what a person believes about God than worship; the high calling to which all image bearers of God are called to do in spirit and in truth.

Those elders/pastors who are allowing and even leading those who profess to be followers of Christ into these worldly exercises of idolatrous worship should be humbly grateful that God has not chosen at this time to deal with them as he did Nadab and Abihu (Lev 10:1,2; Num 3:4; 26:61). Doubtless, they will be called to give an account for their worldliness and leading the sheep astray.

There are quite a number of excellent articles on The Highway website that deal with this issue of worship, which if you haven't discovered them yet you can find them HERE.
