A little over a year ago, I asked this question here:
From time-to-time, I'll notice during worship folks that have their hands raised, usually while music is being sung. Its not disruptive at all, its done very discretely. For them, it looks like the natural thing to do. For me, it would seem extremely unnatural to raise my hands (or to do anything of the sort with my hands) during worship.
As Felix Unger once said, its not good to assume, but I'm going to assume that most here don't raise their hands during worship. If you do, what is the motivation? If you use to be charasmatic or something and did at one time, what was your motivation then?
Have you ever been to a church where some of the people are lifting up their hands during worship and praising God? Not in the way you might picture charasmatics doing it, but more privately, hardly noticeable.
I got a couple helpful answers, I was wondering if anybody else has any thoughts about it.From time-to-time, I'll notice during worship folks that have their hands raised, usually while music is being sung.
