Bible Question: Is contempary music wrong? What about praise/worship teams? |
Bible Answer: eowyn: So-called contemporary music, while decidedly not my cup of tea, is not necessarily "wrong" provided the lyrics conform to sound scriptural doctrines and provided it does not dominate the worship service by crowding out or eliminating corporate prayer and gospel preaching. If there is a hew and cry for this sort of thing among the congregants, then perhaps a balanced mix of contemporary "praise music" and traditional, time-honored hymns is a viable compromise. The biblical injunction, "Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Cor. 14:40) is the key. A worship service should not resemble a hootenanny or a rock concert. A worship service should honor and glorify God and therefore should never be turned into an entertainment event or a stage performance. I attended a "contemporary" service recently and was never quite sure whether I'd been to a worship service or a rock concert. The noise was deafening and about all I took home with me from this service was a distinctly unpleasant ringing in my ears. --Hank |
