We can say that the problem of Korean church worship comes from
the lack of theology of worship. A Korean church worship is out of the
principle of the biblical and traditional worship service, and the worship
leaders and worshippers usually lack the theological understanding of
worship. The phenomena which come from the absence of theology of the
worship service are that there is a tendency which tends to receive the
blessing rather than gratitude and praise to God's salvation and grace, and
that worship is dragged toward the convenience and tastes of ministers
and church members; and because of sermon-centered worship, it
happens all the time that people would leave the chapel as if they finish
their worship service as soon as the ministers finish the sermon.
In addition, there is also a problem in the form of a Korean worship
in which Christians think that the preaching is everything in the worship,
and in which Christians have become spectators because of
minister-centered worship. In this there will be a possibility of losing
the subject of worship. In the worship main agent of worship is God.
Man should never be a main agent in the worship. Moreover, there is an
indication that the Sacraments is being weakened in the present Korean
church. Korean churches not only have the problems of the worship many problems in the attitudes of worshippers, and their main problems
are in the gap between their worship and their life. These problems have
been pointed out that even though Christians faithfully attend at the
church service, in fact, they will have different results in their social life
or family life. Not only this, but the wrong mysterious experiences and
wrong ideas about the blessing and the tendency toward individualism,
which worshippers have, make worshippers slow down and reveal their
wrong behaviour. Moreover, there is a problem of soil for the faith,
which comes from the influence of shamanism, buddhism, and
confucianism. Because of such faith that prays for the blessing only,
people worship God for their use in which they can simply receive the
blessing rather than they can worship God in their pure motive according
to the teaching of the bible; they suffer from the obsession of punitive
justice rather than they live a religious life in the freedom without the
sin and in the joy of liberation; there is also an example which abuses
their authority by forming authoritarianism and ecclesiastical authority,
Now, Korean church should properly grasp the meaning of the problem
of worship service and should solve its problem. For the way of
recovering the Korean church worship, the worship itself should be a
God-centered worship before everything else. It means that the worship
service should focus on God. Moreover, there should be a correct
education for the worshippers and worship leaders. If the worship
service is well planned and completely prepared through the correct
education of the worship leaders and worshippers, Christians will be able
to worship God more meaningfully and faithfully.
In addition, for the promotion of the spiritual growth of the Korean
church, if the Korean church is faithful to the essence and function of
the biblical worship on the correct theology of worship, and if the Korean
church prepares the worship for the Christians in its best way, the
Korean church will continue in its revival and growth. This kind of
worship will be the worship which seeks the traditional worship from the
basis. Even though their will be also an adverse reaction in such trial, sacraments by active applications of Eucharist and ecclesiastical calendar
as if the early Christianity experienced God's presence through the
sacraments and they knew and experienced God with delight through the
worship service for the work of Christ's redemption. We also have to
move the worship service into the balanced worship service in God's
word and sacraments from the preaching-based worship service which is
leaned to one side, and to move the worship service into the
proclamation of the general gospel from the narrow-minded proclamation
of God's word by restoring the ecclesiastical calendar and lectionary.
The spiritual growth will be revealed itself through the recovery of
the worship service. The spiritual growth depends on only God and it is
a gift of God. We can say that the result of the spiritual growth is
revealed in fruit. As Galatians chapter 5, we can form a good life as a
worshipper and establish a true worship through the life in which we
follow Jesus Christ in the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Finally, there is a
suggestion of rituals for the Korean church. The worship necessarily
needs an order and plan. The worship which has a form and an order
makes us feel a sense of closeness toward the traditional worship, and it
helps Christians to participate in the worship and to love God from their
heart by making worship more transparent, and it provides the
opportunities to the worshippers so that they can discipline themselves.
