Actually, I think any of those - prayer, preaching, etc. - could have a thread of their own, focused on the same type of questions. It doesn't happen in reformed churches, but how many of you have ever seen cute little cartoons displayed on an overhead during a sermon? A seminary-trained preacher displaying cartoons in an overhead? The same questions I'm asking about music run through my head when I see such things - what guidelines does the Bible give?

So, I'd agree each part of the worship service should have equal time in the scrutiny department.

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
