"Spontaneous" Worship

I loved page 370 in Give Praise to God so much that I would almost cut it out and put it on my wall. I loved the statement "It is surely ironic that those who criticize the traditional forms of worship... Often become the most careful planners of emotion." I had never thought of it that way before. Even the most "spontaneous" worship services are carefully planned to get a desired effect. This makes me realize that I need to have specific goals in mind when preparing a worship service. If I'm not aiming at helping people understand God better I will probably just end up making them have spiritual feelings.
