Reformation 21 has an interesting article by Carl Trueman entitled Look, It's Rubbish! Here is an excerpt:
What are surprising, therefore, are accounts of services where the theology is supposedly orthodox but the content is sheer trivia.   If God is awesome, sovereign and holy; if human beings are small, sinful, and lost; if Christ died and rose again by a most miraculous and costly act of grace, then this should impact the way things happen in church.  This is not to argue for a one-size-fits-all-my-way-or-the-highway approach to church.  Context and culture are important; but what is expressed through the idioms of particular cultural manifestations of the church should be awe, reverence, and, above all seriousness - not a colourless and cold miserable seriousness but a fitting amazement at the greatness of God and his grace.
