@PrincessIzusu I'm bible studient, answering your question. Do you know about Abel and Caim? Both gave their best things, both gave it glady to the Lord. But God justa accepted Abel's worship.

@josiaspereira you can't understand a persons heart by watching a video of a performance. You have to meet the person. And actually, except for Jesus, humans are pretty bad at judging hearts

[PrincessIzusu]

@josiaspereira but who are you to say what their motives are?

[josiaspereira]

@PrincessIzusu God will just let us know somwthing if we let Him to speak and open our ears.

Are they praising God? Are they singing to reach the hearts? The video shows they are singing to win the competition and get money as you said. It's just like to say "I will work on Sabbath and give the money to church".God doesnt accept it.

Is there different way to worship God? There is just one God. We need to learn the right way to adore Him. There many roads, but just one road lead us to God.

@josiaspereira There's no need to criticize someones form of praise. They are not praising you, they're praising God. If God has a problem with it, He'll let them know. And as far as I see, He doesn't since He let them win regionals and the money the received went toward their church. And that's not saying your form of worship is wrong either. Just different. I could also go into the culture of Gospel but that could be an entire sermon.

[PrincessIzusu]

@changesnlatitudes That's fine. Some people worship differently. Some are conservative. Some are liberal. Some people love hymns. Some people love Gospel. Some people love Contemporary Christian. I think the importance of it all though is that your worship is real. And if you meet the director of this choir, you can feel his love for God when he speaks. As far as I'm concerned. his worship is real.

@magrah2 I'm sorry you feel that way but just because they put an order to it does not mean it's fake. That's like praise dance is fake. Just because someone tells me to do an action doesn't mean I can't put my own feelings into that commanded action. My praise can still come through and I feel the praise coming from each individual on stage even if they are doing the same action.

@magrah2 well put.
