SHOUT!

Too Sophisticated To Shout!
Have you ever been so excited that you shouted?  My guess is of course, at the ball game or because of some other thing that was just so exciting you couldn't contain yourself.  What about because of something God has done?  Why is it that our Christianity is too sophisticated for shouting because of the goodness and glory of God?  Shouting or not shouting doesn't determine our standing before God.  Just thought I would pose the question for you to ponder.  Go ahead...SHOUT!  You will freak everyone out.
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their vestments with trumpets, and the Levite sons of Asaph with their cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the order of David king of Israel. They sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord, saying, For He is good, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid! But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' houses, old men who had seen the first house [Solomon's temple], when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, though many shouted aloud for joy. So the people could not distinguish the shout of joy from the sound of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard far off.
Ezra 3:10-13
