What is "Visual Worship"?
As my journey continues & I'm having more and more conversations about all-things-tech/church/culture/worship/etc...i have had a growing burden to gain a clearer understanding of what true, biblical worship is. i have much to learn and more scripture to dig into than i can comprehend, but here's so… Continue

DO NOT USE VISUAL MEDIA...
...IF your reasons include the following:
- as a substitute for other methods (think about all the senses)
- solely for entertainment (understand that entertainment is not bad itself and CAN be used as a tool when the timing/context is right)
- a crowd-getter or a cure-all
- a substitute for preparation
- for the personal satisfaction of the visual enthusiast
- to keep the “young people” interested in worship.
- “it’s time to boost our congregational singing.”

Scientific studies have shown that our memory retains more from visual than auditory stimuli, yet ironically, as a church we seem to focus more on auditory worship, not just in the services but in our church and community as well. The studies also s…
hey Eric-
Here's what your options are.
preface: in this, i won't count your main laptop LCD display as a "screen", only secondary displays that you are using to display visuals.
MATROX OPTIONS:

YOU KNOW ALEXIS CRUZ?!?!?!?!?!?!? oh wow.
yes, i know him VERY well! we spend every other weekend together. i'm out with Travis right now, actually. wow.
Linda, what you are getting at is a deeper issue i've been wanting to address but haven't foun…
Linda, that's the most interesting thing i've heard in a while... the fact that in some professions, you are trained NOT to ask "why". i'm gonna have to think about that one for a while....not sure how that's going to sit with this rebel. ;)
I want…
"...can we create and execute expressions of visual worship in such a way that they clearly, without question, communicate declaration not decoration? In a way that no one can miss it?"

ok, well, let's replace "visual worship" with "art"....…
great post, Katie! definitely something to keep in mind as many people express themselves differently.
so i am still processing this whole "declaration not decoration" phrase.... so i'll ask, what do you think they were "declaring" through their ar…
wow! i've been watching and reading but never felt the need to comment. and i'm glad...b/c you guys are nailing it. there's nothing more I can add.
steve, i've spent much time with indigenous tribal people (New Tribes Mission) and have taken months…
Good stuff to think about in the posts so far. Thanks for stimulating my thinking. I think its easy for us to confuse a particular definition ie visual worship, with the general one ie worship. The two don't have to fit together although they should…
I'm not going to pretend to know what the definition is, but one thing I think visual worship can do is teach people. They could learn to appreciate God's creation more and to know that he is present in something beautiful. That could then inspire t…
I'll add this excerpt from what I posted over at www.worshipvj.com to the conversation here....
On to the question of visual worship. I would define visual worship as an attempt to reflect what God has revealed of himself to the world. We attempt t…
wow...declaration and not decoration...im thinking of 2 or 3 things we currently do in worship (visual and musical and more) that after putting it thru that filter seem kind of pointless...yikes! thanks steve.
visual worship for me is a two part (o…
I think your first sentence nails it, worship is a response and it comes out of the whole arc of God's story.
So visual worship is declaration, not decoration. It isn't decorating a product for attracting, it's the declaration of a people for remem…

Linda,
I think I have deleted a comment of yours by mistake!! My apologies. You can do what Stephen does. Talk to him about what is needed, or trawl around on his website. I think environmental projections would go great at a RED event. Its an easy…
Nice stuff Cyndi. I like the thinking you have done around what you do, before you do it! Not enough people make that kind of close contextualisation to their congregation. Nice.
Thanks, again, to Eric Herron for his "Show and Tell" post! Glad I could be a "guinea pig" for this new way to connect with others on the site. Anyway, I mentioned that I created a PowerPoint presentation to go with the Genesis 1 creation story. It…
Thanks for posting this, Eric! I can't wait to see what other folks are up to!
This makes me think about what my high school jazz teacher said: "It is the silence between the notes that creates the rhythm."
Saying this was one of the ways he motivated antsy, immature, 16 yr. old jazz musicians to stop playing so many notes wh…
You've trained my eye to find your subtle inspiRED messages : )

I told Nate I wanted to come work behind the scenes with you guys some time. Hit me up.
I've drunk the kool-aid - 'DM' to me means any email now I guess! Talk to you later.
make sure to let cameron know that i miss him dearly. waiting on some more pancakes and pixels.
