Re: Singing in Babylon
For those of you who didn't have the time to listen t the message, Dan talks about when his family moved to South America as missionaries, and they tried to teach the natives American style songs like, "I'll Fly Away" in Spanish. They didn't seem to go over well, as the natives preferred songs in their native song style.
It wasn't long before they got wise and started singing mostly the native songs because the people could relate more. Eventually, Dan and his family came to love the native style of music.
Our American culture is changing rapidly, and will never go back to the way it was no matter how much we miss it. We have a choice. We can either adapt or die away. The gospel message will find a way to reach each culture and generation.
