Many West African churches blast their services through powerful PA systems. This seems to be valued as a means of advertising the services. But PA makes no contribution to making obedient disciples, and it is probably damaging the hearing of those in attendance. A loud PA will drive away those who find the noise uncomfortable and it encourages an emphasis on the noise that we can make rather than listening to the quiet voice of Jesus.
What does Jesus want to say to you about your use of loud PA?
