Sunday night my friend and I braved the hour-plus wait in 106 degree heat to get (third balcony) seats to see Hillsong United .
While we were far from the oldest people there; we were definitely feeling our age as the volume racheted up with each song. Still, I can't imagine very many other places that I'd want to spend a Sunday evening.
The energy in the church was amazing. More amazing was the abandon, the raw passion with which these young adults worshiped their Savior.
I can't imagine that being a tween/teen/twentysomething has gotten any easier since I walked it--and you don't see enough positive press about these age groups. Sunday night was a glimpse into the next generation of Kingdom builders--if properly harnessed, that passion is going to rock the world for Jesus.
They are the revolution, and when it comes, I don't want to be idly standing by, I want to be on the front lines.

I agree it is TOO LOUD and I do believe that ears will be damaged.
On the other hand, that energy is incredible. You are right, if you can harness that, the world could be rocked for Jesu!
You know what my guys say: "If it's too loud, you're too old!" I definitely felt "old" when I went to their band's concert at church not long ago!! You're right, though, their passion is amazing...and something to be matched by all of us.
