I fear that attempting to satisfy personal preferences may honor selfishness while further destroying the unity of the church. Further, I fear that gearing the “worship service” toward unbelievers who may be present will perpetuate the revivalistic confusion between the church in the world and the church in worship.

Our focus is not on the “unbeliever in the audience,” but on the edification of the church and its corporate submission to God.
