Think!

The reading today in Give Praise to God mentioned that through hymns we can encourage our congregation to think.  I have been coming to realize of what paramount importance thinking must be in the service.  If people want to feel, and want those feelings to come from truth, then they must think.  However, as the book pointed out, many congregants of our times want only to be entertained in church, thinking is not on their agenda.  Honestly, amusement might be a better assessment of what they want than entertainment.  The book puts it this way, "'I come to church to be refreshed--not to work.'"  If this is the attitude that we are facing, but we must create or facilitate an environment of thought, how can we accomplish that effectively?
