I think the elderly Preacher has a really good point.


Seriously.



In our efforts to appeal to our generation, we have to appeal to them in a way that allows "room" for the Holy Spirit to move.

I don't think there is anything wrong with holy music that encourages worship and praise.


Would we want to lose the atmosphere that encourages dancing in the Spirit, running the aisles, leaping up and down to the Glory of God?

Some make fun of that stuff and say that it is not real in the first place. For some, maybe it is not. For others it is very real.


I for one, love Hillsongs, Newsboys, and Toby Mac. However, Hillsongs produces music that is 1,000 times more "worship" oriented than Toby Mac.


I wish my church would utilize more of a Shirley Caesar style in some of our music because her music encourages praise. I realize that this will not happen, ever.

But I sure would not want to go to the point of strobe lights and blazing guitars for our services. I wouldn't want to go anywhere near that for our services.

Is that preferrence? Maybe, but I think there is much more to it than that.
