追求感動與激情
崇拜的音樂編排愈加豐富動人,然而詩歌的歌詞卻日益淺薄重複,缺乏真理的深度與屬靈的分量。
追求華麗的表演
舞台上的燈光音效愈發強烈,樂手與主領傾力演出,但會眾的聲音卻逐漸微弱,參與感大幅減低。
追求效率與便利
越來越少人願意委身於詩班或樂團等需恆常投入的音樂事奉,群體事奉的榮耀與價值漸漸被忽略。
敬拜不再是眾人同心獻上的事奉,而成為少數人台上的呈現。
會眾錯過了在彼此扶持與配搭中,一同向神獻上的那份榮耀與蒙福。
這些現象值得我們靜下心來反思:
我們的敬拜,是否仍是為主而唱?
我們的音樂事奉,是否仍忠心殷勤、討主喜悅?
Pursuit of Emotion and Passion
Music arrangements have become increasingly rich and stirring, yet the lyrics grow shallow and repetitive, lacking theological depth and spiritual substance.
Pursuit of Extravagant Performance
Lights and sound grow ever more dazzling; stage performance become ever more whimsical, but the congregation's voice fades, and participation diminishes.
Pursuit of Convenience and Efficiency
Fewer are willing to commit to choirs or music ministries that require regular participation. The glory and value of communal worship are increasingly overlooked.
Worship has shifted from a collective offering to a stage performance by a few.
The congregation misses the blessing and glory of praising God together in unity and support.
These trends call us to pause and reflect:
Are we still singing for the Lord?
Is our music ministry still marked by faithfulness, diligence, and a desire to please God?
