Man-Centered or God-Centered Worship

"I've come up with a 'drive by' litmus test to get an initial take on whether a church's worship is man-driven rather than God-centered. If the sign in front of the church offers different styles of worship at different times or days (traditional at 8:00, contemporary at 10:00, extreme at 6:00 PM, etc.), the worship at that church is almost certainly far more about pleasing man than about pleasing God. This isn't to say that a church is wrong to have (multiple) services, but if they do..., accommodating differing personal tastes in music, etc., ought not to be the reason."
