Subject: Are new worship songs scripturally OK? |
Bible Note: Yes, Kalos, I agree that we should not "substitute" the new choruses with the traditional hymns. The old hymns are powerfully packed with Scriptural truth! I love signing the old hymns in church, and regretfully so, I find my church signing nothing but the latest contemporary praise music. I believe that the older hymns are much more "deeper" spiritually than the newer music, but I am not against making new music or new hymns or signing the new music. As long as a song glorifies the Lord and is Biblically sound, then by all means sing it! But like Kalos said "to each his own".. I feel that many of the mainline churches of today are missing out on the Spiritual impact of the old hymns by focusing so much on these newer, seemingly more shallow 'contemporary' songs, even though there is nothing wrong at all with singing these newer songs. However, it would do this so-called "Generation X" good to be exposed to and learn the time honored hymns of old that still ring in the hearts of Christians today. Blessings, Nolan |
