People can be very particular about musical worship. People complain about things like distortion on guitars being distracting, worship being too showy, hymns being boring, and how contemporary music tries too hard to resemble the world. Are they right? Are they wrong? Is that even the point?
Doing what’s good or right isn’t always easy, in fact, it’s often difficult. If someone said “well, I would be nice to him except he’s being so stubborn!”, you wouldn’t think, “fair point”. Instead, you might think something like, “we’re called to love one another, enemies included!”
It honors God when we follow the example set by his son Jesus, just as it honors God when we worship him. You might even describe living your life according to His word worshipping God with your life.
That comparison being made, is it fair to say that we couldn’t enjoy a worship service because of (insert nitpick)? Are we being completely truthful if we say “it was too distracting and I couldn’t worship”? Or are we just unwilling to worship in the midst of discomfort?
