I love this quote from Richard Foster.

“If worship does not propel us into greater obedience, it has not been worship.”

The metric for successful worship has always been obedience.  It is has never been cutting edge songs, media, or tech gear. Those are all great tools but not the goal. 

As you plan worship, make sure you are focusing on the end goal of obedience and not all the tools you can use. Then, once you have focused on the end goal of obedience, use every tool at your disposal to get people there.

As you attend a worship services, make sure you are concerned with walking out of the service with a deeper heart to follow and obey Christ, and not fixate on if your preferences of songs, media, etc were met.
