I always treated that (and all the rest of the billion and and a half southern Gospel songs about heaven) as more of a celebration of Christian fellowship than anything.
Kind of a "we're going to Heaven! Let's party!" type of thing.
Emotionally based, like most Christian art, rather than rooted in intellectually sound doctrine.

My Church experience is pretty screwed up, really. It's left me kind of once bitten twice shy. I used to use it as an excuse to push God away, until He showed me that my experiences were because of people and their faults, not because He didn't love me.

I think my biggest pet peeve is little kids fussing or messing around in the pews during the sermon.
I love kids and I know that I probably used to be one of those noisemakers but it always breaks my concentration.

That falls inline with the number one problem, the false gospel.
Case in point....
It's bad enough being a legalistic preacher. But how about a legalistic preacher who is fat?

I really enjoy Hagee's sermons on health & discipline. I love the irony.

Maybe it's not his fault that he's fat. Maybe someone prayed a hedge of protection around him and what he ended up with was a few extra layers of protective blubber.
And the churches that are anti masonic, but still glad hand them when they join. That hypocritical I say.
No I'm not a mason and never would be.

When the Sunday is moved to Friday night, in favor of family time on the weekend and the families opportunity to catch up on stuff they over committed on.
Some say as long as you keep one day in seven, it shouldn't matter, I think it did, the congregation went from about 300 to 100 in attendance.

1) Politics from the pulpit (be it left or right, direct or implied)
2) The 'modernization' wave. I believe some churches sincerely fall into this in an attempt to bring in new members but it often seems more social than spiritual, at least to me.
3) The 'marketing wave'. I mean the almost PR, stage production, selling a product sort of approach that many churches use. Here too, some churches innocently fall into this.
I prefer traditional worship; that's why, tho a non-Catholic, I love my retreats to the Gethsemeni monastary.
