초록/해제: 요약 : Introduction. Problem. Most western churches consider creative diversity a detriment to their worship experiences, as evidenced by the perpetuation of divisive 'worship wars.' But how can the local congregation embrace its unique artistic breadth in a manner that effectively answers the 'worship wars' question?

초록/해제: 요약 : Part one. Pattern. Biblical study forces the suggestion that worship is to be the responsively sacrificial, urgently dependent posture of the unselfishly focused people of God. The Christian faith community develops throughout history as it interacts with culture and it is unable to attain perfect worship. A sound theological premise renders worshippers as dependent upon the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As this occurs, the worshipping faith community is able to release presuppositions and agendas long enough to identify, strengthen and engage its indigenous worship voice: the authentic offering of the collective media of the community in Christ, dependent on the Holy Spirit for inspiration, formation, and reception-for the good of the worshippers, for ministry to unbelievers-for the ultimate honor and benefit of God.

초록/해제: 요약 : Part two. Practice. Alternatives to the indigenous worship voice may reflect an emphasis on avoidance, stagnation, tokenism, production, marketing, and appeasement. This is because many churches (and their leaders) can become stuck, rigid, egotistical, controlling, overly expedient, and fearful.

초록/해제: 요약 : Part three. Plan. Beginning with the initiative of God and ending with our joyful offering, the indigenous worship voice includes inspiration, intention, connection, mission and expression.

초록/해제: 요약 : Conclusion. Paradox. The indigenous worship voice is an example of biblical paradox. By unselfishly letting go of our individual voices and expectations, whereby subjecting ourselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we truly find our unique, native, effective and irresistible worship voice.
