IF music is supposed to lead you into worship, they did a poor job at it. They did the best they could but music wasn't their highest priority and it showed. My children's ministry band runs circles around the what I had to put up with at that age.

They did a poor job of it? It seems to me, that they and their kids got into the music and worship when I was growing up. I guess I'm not following you.
I don't have time to read through this thread, but I will say that if you're just talking about music style, there is nothing wrong with rock. Our Edge band is rock-&-roll and the worship is deep and so awesome! They are doing a special service tomorrow night called "Passionate Praise" and I can hardly wait. I relate to the rock style, because I'm a child of the 70's.
No music style is evil, in and of itself. The anointing can fall on any style.
It's a great thing. I wish this trend began when I was a teenager. It would have made worship more tolerable.
It would have made worship more tolerable? You couldn't decide to make the music you grew up with tolerable? Do you think that it would have been tolerable for your parents? We should want to worship, not be prompted to have tolerable reasons to worship based upon the type of music.
In OT times, there were people who's sole purpose was to facilitate worship. King David hired people to create an atmosphere of worship. King David was a musician for hire. He hired people to write music. God expected excellence in worship in the OT. We shouldn't let just any inbred toothless wonder with an out of tune guitar or a piano with keys missing. It's an insult to present those as leaders in worship music.

LOL! They also didn't have a "different style", and the children worshipped with the same music as their parents because the parents were responsible to train their children to worship.
