What’s going to make the worship experience more appealing, more attractive, more inviting, more professional? Some of these concerns are unnecessary.

It seems that a lot of things that churches do or don’t do are more bandwagon issues than the result of careful, Scriptural thinking. Worship videos are kind of like that. Rather than think about the purpose, meaning, quality, and legitimacy of a given thing, some churches do whatever everyone else is doing, be it their denomination, their favorite celebrity pastor, the megachurch down the road, or even pop culture. We would caution against the bandwagon approach to anything, even worship videos. But the issue of church videos goes beyond mere bandwagon appeal. Using worship videos is just plain smart, for a whole variety of reasons (which we’ll discuss in a future article).
