Some Thoughts on That Contemporary Worship Stuff


Here’s an interesting quote I dug up, regarding contemporary worship:

“There are several reasons for opposing it: It’s too new. It’s too worldly, even blasphemous. The new Christian music is not as pleasant as the more established style and because there are so many new songs you can’t learn them all. It puts too much emphasis on instrumental music rather than on godly lyrics. This new music creates disturbances, making people act disorderly. The preceding generation got along without out.”

This quote was made in 1723, in reference to Isaac Watts, writing “Joy to the World,” and “I Sing the Mighty Power of God.”

Just a Monday morning thought . . .
