Today I was for the first time in attendence at the Theatre for International Christians. I'm surely a believer, but many women around me were praying loudly by themselves, eyes closed ,with thier hands raised high, doing some intense meditation by themselves (praising GOD loudly), even if the pastor was speaking from the stage or during singing praise. I thought it was a disturbance, bcoz I was purposely there to listen and reflect to the pastor preaching. Are these people having more faith than the others in the room?
I was feeling like awkward because I''m a Christian who doesn't go over the top in public showing the intensity of my faith. I have more concentration to worship in private.
Is such public worship and extravagance necessary ?
Do I lack faith, for not behaving like them?
