Re: Is Contemporary Worship Wrong ?
I remember being amazed when I learned, as an adult probably in my 30's, that many of the cherished old gospel songs were to the tune of bar songs of the day. Secular songs with Christian lyrics written for them.
Ironically the very same thing that when I was a child and teenager in the late 60's and 70's the old timers got very upset about when Pentecostal young people did the same thing. (remember when you found out you could sing Amazing Grace to the tune of the Coca Cola jingle "I'd like to teach the world to sing"? LOL)

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
