Colored Lights/Smoke Machines/Strobe Bright Lights

[1Corinth2v4]

My intent isn't to degrade those that utilize these methods. However, I'm wanting to understand the drive behind your motive.


I'll boldly state I disapprove of colored lights, smoke machines, and strobe bright lights being utilized at any youth/adult event.

I've studied their origin, and you'll mostly find these instruments within a night club.

I hope we can a civilized dialog after my questions have been asked.


1) What are your motives behind bringing these instruments into the church?


2) What do you believe these instruments would accomplish for youth or adults?


3) Are you trying to create a club/concert atmosphere for people? (understanding 99% percent of these instruments are utilized at a club/concert)


4) Are you trying to infuse the church with the world's utensils for attraction?


5) What ever happen to plainly preaching the word without utilizing any form of club/concert attraction?


7) Is your message "living for God is cool"?


8) Do you feel your colored lights, smoke machines, strobe light concert filled Christian rock music can accomplish more than a regular lit building, with a preacher preaching and a sovereign move of God?
