One of the hottest topics in the American evangelical church is the subject of worship. In 1999 a book called "Worship Evangelism" by Sally Morgenthaler received a lot of attention. Since that time she has called into question some of the views she expressed in her own book. In this current article one of the profound comments that she makes is how the worship on Sunday seems to be disconnected from life that is lived out for most Christians during the week. In other words there has been a promotion of the worship experience on Sunday through music and emotion but it doesn't carry us through the rest of the week. This article reveals some of the mistakes that we have made over the past decade in our desire to be more customer friendly for those in the world and in the church.
