Thermostat or Thermometer?

Interesting quote taken from Tim Hughes talk on 'Worship: a passionate response'

"There are two types of Sunday worshipper, there are thermometer worshippers and thermostat worshippers.

The thermometer worshipper is one where their guage is affected by how hot or cold the worship is in that meeting. If the worship is really exciting and really passionate then their guage goes up and they join in in the same manner but if the worship is a bit boring and slow then their guage goes down.

Then there's the thermostat worshipper who turns up on a Sunday who is ready and expectant and prepared with meeting with God. They set the temperature and others are drawn in."

Whether you agree or disagree, certainly makes you think!
