📘 Volume 21: Entertainment or Edification? Reclaiming Reverence in Worship

Sola Scriptura Series: The Standard of Truth – Scripture Alone

Is Worship in Today’s Church Still Holy? Or Has It Become a Show?

In a time when church stages resemble concert venues and worship services are driven more by emotional hype than biblical reverence, the Church faces a critical question: Are we exalting God, or entertaining ourselves?

Volume 21 of the Sola Scriptura Series — Entertainment or Edification? Reclaiming Reverence in Worship — is a bold, Scripture-driven call to restore the sacred in worship and reject the cultural compromise that has turned sanctuaries into stages.

🔍 What This Volume Unpacks

This book exposes the subtle and not-so-subtle ways modern worship has drifted from the biblical model — replacing awe with amusement, reverence with performance, and truth with trends. Grounded in the authority of Scripture, this volume guides readers through a thorough examination of:

• The biblical blueprint for worship as revealed in both Old and New Testaments

• The dangers of emotionalism, consumerism, and celebrity culture in the Church

• How popular worship practices have become anthropocentric rather than theocentric

• The loss of doctrinal depth in worship lyrics and the rise of vague, experience-driven songs

• The spiritual impact of entertainment-focused atmospheres on congregational maturity

• How worship has shifted from discipleship to passive consumption

• The critical role of pastors and worship leaders in guarding the sanctity of the worship gathering

🛑 Why This Volume Matters Now

The worship of God has never been a light matter in Scripture. From the tabernacle to the throne room in Revelation, God is worshiped in holiness, awe, and truth. Yet, in today’s Church, reverence is being traded for relevance.

This book confronts that shift head-on. It is for worship leaders, pastors, and believers who refuse to settle for man-centered performances and hunger instead for God-centered praise that shapes hearts and magnifies Christ.
