As a Pastor I enjoy both equally.\nI agree with your little joke. In our Church the music is usually thumpin, and the preachin is usually jumpin.

I like to go to my church really early in the morning when it's dark, or after Sunday night mass when it's really dark and just  think about things or look around at the empty church. It's really special because i can look up at the cross and see Jesus and it's only Him and me in the church and I can pray aloud. It's a touching experience.

Music because all my friends are in there. And I just plain like playing music :)

Well, I am a praise and worship leader and when it comes to my gospel music, I don't play. My favorites depend on what I am in the mood for. If I am in the mood to just really get my praise on, I listen to artists like Israel and New Breed, Tonex, Martha Munizzi, and Donald Lawrence. If I am in the mood to get my dance on, I listen to artists like Lisa McClendon, Mary Mary, Kierra Sheard, Canton Jones, J.Moss and Karen Clark Sheard. If I am preparing to worship I listen to artists like Prophetess Juanita Bynum, Fred Hammond, CeCe Winans. I guess when it boils down to it, all gospel music is good if it is about our Lord and Saviour. A few of my other favorites are Dorinda Clark-Cole, Tamila Mann, Yolanda Adams, Vicki Yohe, Shea Norman, Hezekiah Walker, Kirk Franklin, The Canton Spirituals, The Williams Brothers, and the list goes on and on. Much Love!!!!

mine is just right. It has the word  of God. I would change nothing. I donot like the mega churches because if you want the concert type worship music, go to a concert.  If oyu're worshipping the lord you do not have to go all out, you can keep it simple, if I would change things about churches I've been to then I would  wish it was more hymnal old fashioned instead of a crazy concert scene.

I have lots of favorite gospel songs, I couldn't choose just one. \n\nAlso I am part of a cell church. We meet in one anothers homes once a week (in cells, or groups of about 10-20 people) and then we have Sunday service (entire congregation) once a week. It's awesome!!!

Some of the greatest music ever written is "religious," e.g., whole batches of Bach. And if you want to bathe in the light of human joy and aspiration, American gospel singing will satisfy no end. It can be "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "Amazing Grace," "A Further Walk with Thee," and on, and on.\n\nFor general religious music I'm partial to the old masters - Handel's "Messiah" and Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."\n\nI also love the Latin Christmas stuff which is celebratory and happy - and really good for dancing.

I'm not Pentecostal. I'm Catholic.\n\nBut I'm sitting here with a Pentecostal friend, and I'm going to turn it over to him. The following are his words, not mine:\n\nI was born into a Pentecostal family, so that's how I got into it. I like the freedom of worship in the Pentecostal church, and how the Holy Spirit is allowed to take control. Also, there is good music. I learned how to play guitar in the Pentecostal church just like Elvis did (my fave Pentecostal celebrity). I like it when people speak in tongues and get seized by the Spirit. It's a lot more free than other churches, and people are allowed to be more emotional. Why would anyone go to a church where everything is all quiet and boring? In our church, if you feel like shouting for joy, then go ahead and shout. It's all about freedom during worship.

Whenever I visit the seat of a diocese (most big cities), I try to visit the cathedral.\n\nWith love in Christ.

i love hearing about God and Jesus! However i do not like people knocking on my door wanting to talk about them. Thats what church and friends are for.

I have before said that I'd go to church if they started singing the popularized version of "oh happy days", but I guess the Sister Act songs are good too.\n\nI'd probably hang around until the preacher started using emotional rhetoric, which is to say, probably directly after.

I go to an Assembly of God.\n The music is great.The people are great.But most important the Spirit of God is always there.\nWe openly worship our Creator. We are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus.\nWe dress with moral standards.(Jeans are fine.)\nCome with an open mind and a open heart.\nI promise you will love it.\nGod Bless you as you seek.
