Hi again everyone its Paul Nicolle. Next subject of choice is the video “Kristian Stanfill - Jesus Paid It All (Passion '06)” and its way of worshipping the lord Jesus Christ. The first thing you notice about the video is they did not make a very traditional modest video it was all done in a dark stadium with bright strobe lights and rock and roll sounding music. This atmosphere is not common in most traditional Christian services; this is because not long ago praise and worship was gentler, quieter and many hymns were sung. This is because their ancestors would praise this way and now that new generations are choosing to praise differently and find their own way of using sacred space. Many Christians believe God (Christian) told the people to talk personally to him in prayer and worship and so reverence of God became a lot more personal. The video is filmed in a stadium and so it becomes a sacred space because believers are worshiping there. Sacred space is not only a church; it is where ever people gather together in God’s name. I think that is OK for people to praise and worship their God in a stadium, rather than a traditional church, because it is comfortable to them.
