Don't you agree. It's scriptural. Worship is powerful! "Grace Like Rain" Is worship falling fresh on the LORD's people. when I first heard it, I thought what the scripture declares-sing unto the LORD a new song. And thats what "Grace like Rain" is. fresh worship music. God bless brother Todd. Andrew I totally believe that we that are the sons of God must him in Spirit and in truth. Don’t you agree.

My music taste is the full range. I do love the old hymns but I also like the modern stuff. There is just some music that stirs up my heart in praise to the Lord. I love Paul Wilbur's stuff for that. I remember weeping listening to Carry My Cross by Third Day as I was driving along. It was just the thought of my Lord carrying all my shame...Ok I'm weeping again.

Worship is about the words. Not the music, not the performance, not those performing, but about the words we offer to God. No where is the focus on the words more clearly shown than in hymns. ANd there is such depth to the words. I fully understand that non christians would prefer that type of music, but that is beacause it is so similar to the entertainment of the world. I do not doubt the sincerity of those who write and perform modern christian music, I have no problem with people listening to it in their own homes, but I find no place for bands and beats and individual performance in the public worship of God. There, said it! Won't go on here cos its not the place. Ok….I’m gonna go against the flow here. Worship is about the words.

If the motive of our heart is love toward God, His Spirit will be felt. I have been in traditional services filled with love, and some that were dead. I have been in contemporary services filled with love, and some as shallow as the world. We need to do all things out of love for Christ and one another, for they will know we are Christian by our love, not our hip (or traditional) music. Thank you for this great post. My DH is a praise leader in our church, so we've discussed this topic at some length. Third Day is great. City on a Hill is another favorite of mine. Newsboys have some good praise music too.

It's my son's favorite group. He listens to their "Offerings" CD as he goes to sleep at night. I really like this song (listening as I type this up lol). I'm with you on the music. It's funny but when these hymns were written they were written to secular melodies to draw the lost in. They were controversial in their day lol. And now, churches cling to them like the gospel. I love upbeat music. I do love a good hymn every now and then but my favorite styles have a whole lot of "beat" and are typically loud lol. I truly love our church - they are so cutting edge with music. My kids beg to take friends to church. Being a part of a non-traditional church has really blessed our lives in ways we never dreamed "church" could. Thank you for this post Iris - I do know people who would be offended by it lol. I have a post called "Jesus was a Radical" that kind of touches on some of these same points so I was "Amening" throughout your post :o) http://blog.atih.com/archive/2005/10/13/2193.aspx ((HUGS)) Girl – I LOVE Third Day!

And I'm a big Third Day fan, too, Iris. I think there's room enough in God's kingdom for all kinds of musical expression. Praise God that He gave us the gift of music, and the precious gift of life through His Son! \O/ Dancing!! I love this song! And I’m a big Third Day fan, too, Iris.
