The Times
When our son Josh was about five years old, he announced to us in a very serious voice, “I hate change!” And I thought, “Then you’re going to have a tough life, kid, because change is inevitable!” Not everything changes, but most things do.
I don’t know whether you’ve noticed, but church has changed. It isn’t like it used to be.
The first thing that probably comes to your mind when I say that is the style of worship music. And that’s true. Even in our very traditional church, we’re singing a lot of songs we didn’t sing a generation ago. That’s a good thing (if they’re good songs). It’s not like God blew a whistle in 1962 and said, ‘Okay, that’s it. I don’t want any more new worship songs written from here on!” I’ll bet some of your favorite Gospel songs have been written after 1962. But, despite the churches that have fought and even split over the type of music to be played, worship music style is really a fairly superficial issue. And too many churches thought that if they switched to contemporary worship music, people would come flocking in. It didn’t happen. It really doesn’t matter if you half-heartedly mumble hymns, or half-heartedly mumble contemporary worship songs. Either way, your heart is on display.Read More
