‘Soaking Worship’: the disclaimers

The next few posts are going to be on the worship gathering approach that is being called ‘soaking worship’.

Here’s the big disclaimer: holding ‘soaking worship’ gigs, or pursing this approach is not meant to be some negative commentary, worship-service bashing, or declaration against ANY church, denomination, flow or leader.

None.

‘Soaking worship’ is a stylistic approach, a constellation of methods to hold a gathering of the Saints.

This is not one new battle in the ‘worship wars’ that continue to plague so many churches.

If a church or church-ministry never, ever go after ‘soaking worship’ methodologies because of what-ever reason… that’s OK.

Unfortunately, the last 50-year history I’ve lived through in the Church has seen entire churches blow apart over ‘taste issues’ and methodologies.

I absolutely would never push that ‘soaking worship’ is THE method to do things.

If you and your ministry want to adopt ‘soaking worship’ style elements… cool.

If your ministry has a style and method that works for your people… cool. Does it bring people into the Presence of God? Keep it up.

TAKE-AWAY:

Likewise… or on the other side… there are a number of ‘critics’ of ‘soaking worship’ methodologies. There ‘theological justification’ to oppose ‘soaking worship’ is pretty thin, and smells rooted in a canonization of their methodologies in their ministry, and a rejection of something that flows differently.

Sorry, I’m not going to veer away from a worship methodology that is well-founded in Biblical history and narrative, and has brought millions of Believers into a deeper experience with King Jesus.

Don’t like it? Stay over there, my friend.
