I also agree. I don't want to sing to feel good and be entertained, I want to sing from the heart (not a power-point presentation), because I love the Lord. Not because everyone else is doing it, and not because it "your cue to sing". There are many times I burst out in song, just because I'm moved to sing. Unfortunately, were I go to church it seems, I don't know, external.Homer wrote:Michelle & Roger,
I very strongly agree with your sentiments re the singing that is popular today! Most of what are called praise songs I call vegatarian: devoid of meat. I read where a Mennonite referred to them as 7-11 songs. Seven words repeated eleven times!
As for me, they can sell the Powerpoint, get out the song books and a song leader whose objective is to get the people singing. With the song books people could at least stay on the same page.
More meaty hymns would make a big difference. Just singing "Yes LORD!" over and over, I just think "Yes What?" It would be nice to sing something meaningful.
Homer, what state do you live in? You know you have to put a picture of yourself up don't you.
