“It's one of the things we find in these congregations is that they are much more likely to be sort of up-beat worship styles, more likely that people in these congregations say "Amen," maybe get up and dance some, tend to be a little bit more lively than a typical white service would be, but not as lively as a typical black service would be.” PeopleLittlesWould BeBitsBlackWhiteStyleWorshipLittle BitBeatsGet UpTypicalLivelyAmenCongregation Author:Michael Emerson
“You find the most in not any particular denomination specifically. It's the style of worship. So if we have what we call a charismatic worship style, that means upbeat music and a more lively style of preaching usually, people are allowed to clap, say "Amen," whether they're mainline Protestant, conservative Protestant, and Catholics, whatever, they're much more likely to be integrated.” PeopleIfsMeanStyleParticularWorshipCatholicConservativePreachingLivelyIntegratedProtestantsAmenCharismaticDenominationsUpbeat Author:Michael Emerson

We seek Thee because we need Thee, for in Thee we live and move and have our being.

“I just want to encourage every one of us to realize when we obey God, we’re not doing it for God—I mean, that’s one way to look at it—we’re doing it for ourselves, because God takes pleasure when we’re happy. That’s the thing that gives Him the greatest joy. So, I want you to know this morning: Just do good for your own self. Do good because God wants you to be happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you’re not doing it for God really. You’re doing it for yourself, because that’s what makes God happy.
