Arcturus I want to just comment on something you wrote: :)
I have heard and sung too much garbage under the title "praise and worship".[/b][/i]
Please understand that the words mean nothing to God; he is not interested in how eloquently they are spoken, and neither is worried if they are spoken in some broken tounge by someone has no real concept of what they are saying.
We must never forget, that the words only covey the message, while the heart conveys the intent. God reads hearts, and please know that if you were singing "praise and worship" with a loving and faithful heart, this is all God cared about and he would find your words sincere.
The following Scripture may help you understand what I am trying to say :)
Mar 12:41 ¶ And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
Mar 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
Mar 12:43 And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
Mar 12:44 For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
It is the words (love, honor and faith) from the heart that God listens too, the words from the mouth are for the world. :)
I pray that you will not take offense to this post.
Your brother in Christ,
Darren

Of course Darren
It is our motives, thoughts, words and deeds that will be weighed and measured.
Rev 20 : 13...and their cases determined by what they had done ACCORDING TO THEIR MOTIVES, AIMS AND WORKS.
Rev 20 : 12.......and the dead were judged, sentenced by what they had done, their whole way of feeling and acting, their AIMS AND ENDEAVORS....
Dan 10 : 12...Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you SET YOUR MIND AND HEART TO UNDERSTAND and to humble yourself before your God.....
This is the aim and endeavors acceptable to the Lord....that we set our minds and hearts to UNDERSTAND HIM.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
YellowStone:
Great Arcturus :)
So I guess that means, those songs of "praise and worship" were not garbage from your heart and neither from your mouth.
God gives us so much latitude, unlike the church; where if you often dress incorrectly, don't "offer" enough, then you are either shunned or asked to leave. They could care less about the motives of your heart. :(
But they are not difficult to see :) For Paul (I think) forewarned us of them
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock
Love to you,
Your brother in Christ,
Darren
