“I’d argue that loving God with our hearts just as much as our minds is a biblical principle that many churches need to be reminded of. However, I’d also contend that too many churches ride the wave of emotionalism, believing that the outward expression of these ‘worship experiences’ is God’s primary concern. It’s not.” - Richard Bargas
