		<description>oooooh i love this. we would be wise to listen to these guys as there is a lot of truth to looking back on how the Acts church did things. If you ever get to check any of the Ancient-Future books out by Robert Webber you should! Here is a link to his Ancient-Future Worship book http://tinyurl.com/4grcxm
Also Alan Hirsch has a good book called The Forgotten Ways that is a good resource http://tinyurl.com/4nal5z
We have to get a grip on this problem, i meet friends all the time who gripe about the style of music or the pastor&#039;s sermon or the building or whatever you can think of. Since when did church become Burger King? &quot;Have it your way right away?&quot; 
We have to stop trying to do what everyone likes and instead teach people that once you are saved its not about you anymore and then start listening to God and how he wants his church to be run. 
*i don&#039;t have any strong opinions about this subject though* :)
