People love cats and Dubstep videos. They’re some of the most popular videos on the web. While it may not be creative or cutting edge to make a cats and Dubstep video, you can be sure people will like it. Sometimes you just gotta give the people what they want.
There are cats and Dubstep videos at our churches. They are things people just like regardless of their creativity. People love singing along with songs. People love clapping – it gives them something to do with their hands. People at our churches love getting together over a meal.
Sometimes creativity can get in the way or cats and Dubstep videos. We want to be cutting edge and creative so we neglect the things people love. Don’t fall into that trap.
Sometimes the creativity in our church doesn’t outweigh the benefit of letting people watch their favorite dubstepping cat video. Sometimes you just gotta give the people what they want.
Be careful that your desire for creativity and newness doesn’t alienate people from something enjoyable and effective.
