And the usual answer focused around the worship event itself — the music, the mood, the activity, the emotions, the song selection, the musical style, the preaching, the worship team’s skill and performance, etc. But Fitch answers the question, ‘Simply put, faithful worship reveals itself in the shape of the lives it produces.’… I’ll bypass Fitch’s arguments and cut to the chase: ‘Evangelicals go to church on Sunday yet are unaffected because we either sit passively in a lecture hall taking lecture notes for later use or we indulge in a rock concert/pep rally that titillates our emotions but leaves little to order our selves into the glory of God.’
