Introverts like the Lutheran church, like the introverted Norwegians. Notice where Pentecostalism spreads, the emotional Africans and Hispanic. The Lutherans are in the colder more introverted climates. <br /><br />Karl JungAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-25449927115588967322011-08-08T17:29:46.081-07:002011-08-08T17:29:46.081-07:00I can be very extroverted during an Apostolic serv...I can be very extroverted during an Apostolic service - so much so that I take the lead when other people hold back.<br /><br />What always bothered me was that before or after the service I would feel completely shut down and noncommunicative and all the chatty socializing completely intimidated me. Now I'm thinking it's just my natural introverted nature kicking in. That an at all the church 'social' events I just want to crawl under a rock.<br /><br />So yeah this has been very informative.Debinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-82785138299564286672010-03-26T19:21:25.209-07:002010-03-26T19:21:25.209-07:00How about more Scripture readings?

Seems like we expect only songs to carry us into the throne room when there's so many more options available!kdchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452854081833242877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-16081659449282409912010-03-26T18:55:50.993-07:002010-03-26T18:55:50.993-07:00Hmm...Let me think...

Can the reason be as simple as personality type? How can worship leaders incorporate elements that will be meaningful to both types?Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585349948438593530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-69996966111809148142010-03-21T14:02:27.279-07:002010-03-21T14:02:27.279-07:00Hey EPurcell,

We're a little more guarded; very low maintenance. Once trust has been established we are loyal and committed. We've got your back, no matter what! I like to say we're "silent giants!" Rocks! Regarding worship, I worship openly and freely because of who He is.

I heard Rick Warren talk about the awkward nature of "coming forward to receive Christ" on the Radicalis webcast a few weeks back. He said that's an invention of the 20th century but that in the Bible, baptism was the public confession of faith. I think if we encouraged people to receive the HG in any place they feel more comfortable, it might happen more often. <br /><br />Example: A husband of a woman at my church is very introverted and has been out of church for decades. He came back to the Lord and was refilled w/ the HG in the privacy of his own home with his family, and those who know him say they knew if he came back, that was the way it was going to happen. He's just a reserved man. I think we need to make room for people like that and not make them feel like they're the odd ones out because they didn't cut a rug in front of God and all creation in the altar. :)carandavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564674383481655681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-7809940672292756542010-03-18T23:07:07.909-07:002010-03-18T23:07:07.909-07:00And let me say one other thing, being an introvert...And let me say one other thing, being an introvert is no excuse to not be a passionate worshipper, or door greeter, or people greeter... we just need our "down" time a lot more frequently.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760694565731145678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-3462038324404717182010-03-18T23:05:32.558-07:002010-03-18T23:05:32.558-07:00VERY good article!!!

On a side note, introverts make up only 25% of the population, and thus are greatly outnumbered by extroverts. Which makes us quite often misunderstood, whether in a friendship context, or whatever the relationship.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760694565731145678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-16842504079610578122010-03-18T16:20:24.845-07:002010-03-18T16:20:24.845-07:00You know, what confuses a lot of people is that it...You know, what confuses a lot of people is that it has nothing to do with being shy. That's not what I'm posting about at all. <br /><br />It's all about being genetically introverted in a sub-culture that expects everyone to live out loud (or at least worship out loud).kdchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452854081833242877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25308225.post-91022593106339367852010-03-18T14:40:40.288-07:002010-03-18T14:40:40.288-07:00THANK YOU.THANK YOU.carandavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564674383481655681noreply@blogger.com
