"dave, you just need to lower your standards..."

as I walked out of a service on sunday, a man was walking with me and was commenting on the sound during the service and was commenting on how good it sounded. to have a little background, the service is being held in a gym and the sound system is a portable system that's meant to be setup and broken down each week. my comment back to the man was, "yeah is sounds alright in there." and I meant it. I think it doesn't sound real good in the gym and the quality of the system prevents the overall sound from being great, but i think it sounds alright and works for what we do. the man responded by saying, "dave, you just need to lower your standards." my standards for something to sound good apparently were too high. having the sound be intelligible seems to be the only standard by which this person determines if something sounds good.it seems my standards are too idealistic as of late. i'm struggling or wrestling with this (not the whole sound issue (that's something small), its something bigger than that). I am having trouble because in my heart, i long for things to be better than how things are right now. you can call them idealistic ideas but right now they are just kind of the cry of my heart and you can say how things are right now is the reality that i will discover in time (i'm too young right now to get it apparently) but it sounds a whole lot like you are making an excuse for not seeking something better. maybe we need to stop lowering our standards in the modern church but actually raising our standards and stop putting up with things being sub par, or less then what God has called us to.
