“Our church’s worship is pretty formal, but I prefer Holy Spirit-led worship.”
Such was a comment I overheard once by a young evangelical describing his church’s worship service, illustrating a very common perception by many evangelicals today—if the Holy Spirit actively works in worship, the results will be something extraordinary, an experience “quenched” by too much form and order.
But this expectation appears in more than just worship. If you were to ask the average Christian today what our expectation should be regarding how the Holy Spirit works, I believe most Christians would answer something like this: If the Holy Spirit is actively working, his work will be evidenced by some sort of extraordinary experience—intense feelings, inner promptings, miraculous gifts, or even visible manifestations.
As that representative list illustrates, this expectation takes a variety of forms, but likely the most prevalent form of this expectation revolves around worship.
