Words cannot adequately express my love for worship.
It is what my souls thrives on. I savor those thirty minutes on Sunday morning, purely spent worshiping my God. But then the music stops and the talking starts, and I am no longer interested in being there. I despise church, it is a forced appearance on my part every week.
The God in the music, the God I feel, is not the same as the God you are talking about. He is not a financial advisor, He is a healer of hearts.
That is the trouble with church, they all think they know who God is. They make it into a giant production, so that by the time it's over, you feel like you were at a rock concert and a marriage/financial/pillars of success conference. They have made God a person that you do not want to spill your guts to, because He has rules, and steps, and electric guitars.
Give me a room lit with candles. Give me intimacy.
Praise is more than just singing songs and raising your hands, it is the daily discovery that God is good.
Sure, He can help you with the other stuff.. but I just want to live my life praising Him, not finding time in-between to praise Him.
