I love liturgy. <\/a>\"\"I really do, there are few things in life that get me more excited then exploring how different elements of liturgy reflect the message of the Gospel.<\/p>\n

Some times my friends in the Evangelical world get on my case about my love for liturgy. They claim that following forms breeds dead religion.<\/p>\n

My response is that every church has set ways they do things, traditional liturgy simply establishes meaningful well thought out forms.<\/p>\n

I ran into this video today via Jesus Creed. <\/i>The video is really funny, but it also exposes the liturgy in Mega Churches. The liturgy of a church in many ways shows the path a church is traveling on. When we take out all the specifics of a service and show the themes that are communicated in the medium we use to gather (the liturgy) the message behind it all becomes pretty clear. What do you think the message in this video?<\/p>\n
