Worship...?
Last night I made a silly decision to go and see Delirious with some people from the youth club at church (that i'm not a member of- my brother is youth pastor so he kindly offered me a ticket)
At the time it was a great decision. I like their music...and i've been wanting to see them live for a very long time...so I was really excited.
Tim Hughes was supporting Delirious...and he was brilliant. I didn't get a sense of pride...or arrogance with him at all. I enjoyed his way of worship, and it seemed very humble...and directed towards God. Delirious on the other hand seemed to be so arrogant...and it didn't seem like the music was about God at all! They seemed obsessed with their own image...and I just thought it was awful! The words may have been about God, but that was it...really! The crowd seemed to be completely obsessed with the band...and I wonder how many people were really praising God, and how many were praising Delirious with their sage presence.
Basically...I wasn't impressed with the concert at all. It felt completely wrong and I left early because my brother (the youth pastor) and his wife completely agreed with me
It has put me off Delirious...because i'm not convinced that they are actually serving God anymore. I know I can't judge them...and I can't assume things...but I just got such a negative feeling, and I really didn't like it! Many people probably disagree with me...but that was just my gut feeling...and I had a very strong feeling in my heart that me being there was not right.
Here's a thought... if Delirious cut back on their special effects...costumes... staging... scenery... ...etc...etc... probably thousands of starving people could be fed. I can therefore not justify spending £13.50 on a ticket to see a band. My £13.50 should be going to a better cause...but maybe that's the missionary inside of me thinking!!
In other news, on our way back to my brothers last night, we stopped so that he could get something to eat...and my sister-in-law and I waited outside in the car. The amount of drunks walking around in a town on a friday night is worrying to say the least! I wanted to get out of the car and just tell them how alcohol didn't fix their problems! I wanted so much to tell them about Jesus...but really, i'm sure I wouldn't have lived to tell the story. I felt guilty though...maybe I should have.
God bless
