Soemtimes the appropriate response to Christ centered art is ovation, sometimes teh appropriate response to Christ centered art is contemplation.

When we encounter art that is meant to get us thinking, get us feeling, get us contemplating . . . we need to take the time to digest it. Think about it. Let those thoughts and feelings about God that have just been stirred up move around and develop and take shape.

Unfortunately, often times modern audiences will squash that moment of contemplation and digestion with applause and loud response.

It's an organic thing, and often the crowd will determine spontaneously what happens. In this case, that crowd looked to me like they were experiencing a new song with unfamiliar words along with a visual representation . . . a work of art on many different levels, and the audience's response to that worship was one of solenmity and contemplation.

I know that this post is about a month late, but I was elated to find the video on the internet tonight. I was there and also did not stand after the performance. I was overwhelmed by the message of the song and by the way it was presented. The only movement I made after several seconds was to ask my wife if she had some tissues or napkins in her purse.

I think as a pastor or a leader as much as we get critiqued about everything we do it never gets easy to hear. I think that it is funny see a worship leader critique the crowd response and participation. I also think that even though John and jeff are one in the crowd that they felt the need to defend the crowd response. I would wonder what the guy who was singing would say about the crowd response?

I also am a member of Fellowship and was there that night and I agree completely with John. It was an amazing experience and everyone was moved deeply. I to felt we were all mesmerized and to me sitting and reflecting really seemed the appropriate response at the time.

Also, if you want to get out of your seat to worship, then visit FC because we spend almost the entire worship portion of the service on our feet.

Thanks for the positive comments about the video and sharing it on your blog.

John, Thanks for filling us in. I can see where you are coming from and I don’t mean to imply that you are only worshipping when standing. I’m glad the congregation was blessed and man so was I watching it. I guess I was just expecting at least a huge standing O at the end, cause that was down right INCREDIBLE! Be blessed John thanks for the comment, I appreciate the context.

Hi there…

I attend FC (have for years) and was in the audience for this song. That’s an interesting observation you have about the crowd and I was trying to think back to that day to try and shed some light on it…

First off, I have to say that for me personally, God used this song and worship to rock my world! I was so moved and almost came to tears when at the end of the song there was a heart left painted on Dex’s shirt.

I was moved that much but wasn’t standing up. Why? Well, I really think I (and the rest of the crowd) was so engulfed of what was happening with the painting that we were kind of mesmerized. It felt like it was more of a drama that was very moving. For me, when I’m watching a drama, I can’t watch to see what’s going to happen if I’m standing up worshipping God with my eyes closed. So, I was on the edge of my seat watching, focused, and I remember I had a big smile and chills running up my spine.

Anyways, it may have not translated on the video but the crowd was into it (even though we weren’t standing) and it was absolutely incredible.

thanks for the link man, glad you liked it.

yeah the response is a little weird. i would then assume that they billed the song as a special. something to listen to. that it would set up something else.
