Have you been going to a church lately where the music changed? One day there's a choir in both services, now there's two different services. Up popped 3 guitars a drum, a worship pastor with guitar, a couple praise singers, key board versus piano, and the newest songs by Chriss Tomlin. Well my wife and I have! We like the new stuff! Our age is in the fifties. I miss a worship pastor just directing us sometimes though. With no music except our voices. I miss the qualified soloist and the young one's begginning to learn how to sing a solo. Every song pushing us faster and louder to show we're more excited. Change is great as long as the 40's, 50's,60's,70's, and 80 year olds haven't been left out to pasture. If it is so important to sing, why isn't it important to sing enough songs to reach every generation? Our Theogracy has led a few good pastors to cede over music mininistry to a 25 to 30 year old that hasn't even heard " How Great Thou Art". Now brothers and sisters in the Lord, do you really think heaven will need an organ or a guitar to be the right music to our Father in heaven? Those who have no voice in this matter most of the time could be paying the most tithe and keeping the doors open. Yet God just wanted our hearts, and everything will follow afterwards, if we learning to be in Christ! Think about caring about the whole Church instead of... "if you don't like the music just move on". 60 % of the people have been left behind on this subject, and nobody wants to do anything about it. Bebo Norman has many great songs out, like "Nothing Without You", and I love this fresh song, but I also love " A Mighty Fortress Is Our God". I also like many varieties of music, like Jazz, Western, Rock, Gospel, Classical, Contemporary. But I don't think we realize how much we're limiting our horizons by being stuck in one mode! Just a thought.
