“In roughly twenty-five years, Christian worship has gone from being serious to being casual—not because a case has been cogently or theologically argued that “casual” is more appropriate to a meeting with God, but because the culture itself has become casual, and the church has chosen not to resist the cultural inertia. David Letterman doesn’t take anything seriously—why should we?”
T. David Gordon, Why Johnny Can’t Sing Hymns, p. 173.
It’s not Dave’s fault
