3GT Episode 322: Worshiptainment with Matthew Everhard
On this episode of Three Guys Theologizing, a doctor is in the house! Yes, Dr. Matthew Everhard, Pastor of Gospel Fellowship PCA and RPTS Adjunct Professor, joins the guys once again and offers a prescription for what is ailing the evangelical church.
Matthew is on 3GT to explain the reason he published his newest book Worshiptainment: The Modern Church's Golden Calf. He exposes the heavy reliance the modern evangelical church places on entertaining people in the sanctuary through drama, cinematic production, lights, concert-like music, etc. After highlighting some of the extreme examples, Matthew explains the regulative principle of worship the Protestant Reformation highlighted and how the church's drift from Biblical worship is nothing short of idolatry. Modern worship has more in common with golden calf worship than many realize! From there, he and the guys discuss remedies for the current situation
