But I believe it starts with theology. Good theology leads to good music, which can then lead to more good theology. But hopefully it starts with good theology. I think an equally interesting question is this: does all worship music glorify God? If the lyrics are sound, but the music is awful, just bad, what are we to do with it? Or what if there isn't much to the lyrics ("24/7"- 7 words repeated 24 times and such, e.g. (BTW, I think there can be a time and a place for this, but every week does NOT fit that description))? How do we reconcile "bad" music and God's glory? (interesting side question- "good/bad" music, subjective or objective?) And at what point do we use such music in the church?Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520664574768655075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998295540960208990.post-62665619687571535872009-09-14T21:14:52.701-05:002009-09-14T21:14:52.701-05:00I totally agree with you.

Singing is something I am actually good at. Not great but good. God gave me a voice and I am going to praise Him with that. Example, this past Sunday we sang as a congregation He touched me. I can not sing that song with tearing up. My mom sang that song at my granddaddys funeral in 2002. It is such a powerful song. I can't help but to cry because of what Christ did and also that it was sang at his funeral. Thanks Scott for posting this. I have also wondered the same thing. <br />-Brandi AdamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
