I’d like to ask this question and have you respond here on the blog.  I hope this will bring forth good dialog.  My goal is not to accuse anyone of anything, nor is that my own heart or philosophy.  I have my thoughts – but I’m curious what you think.

True or False:

Younger Generations are more likely to accept and appreciate the music of Older Generations than Older Generations are of Younger Generations.

Look forward to the conversation. Let’s keep it respectful and in the spirit of love. This post is not meant to be divisive. It’s meant to open our eyes to various views so that we can be more effective at leading our generations in worship.

What say you?

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted you to know that the Apostle Paul has some great insights on all the bickering that goes back and forth about worship styles.

OK, well not really … but blogger and TheWorshipCommunity.Com member, Brad Loser (and that’s Loser with a long o, as in loh-ser!)  has written what he believes it would sound like in an ongoing, heated thread called “Musical Styles to One Style” over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com.  Check out that thread over at TWC.

“Beloved – why are you so concerned with meaningless quarrels over musical styles. Is God not infinite? What musical style is there that can, by itself, capture the profound and complete mystery of the Divine? Brothers, do not be mislead into the deceptive thinking that some would have you believe about musical styles. For they say, “This style is better and reaches more people”, and, “I prefer this style because it’s what I’m used to.” No, you gather in the name of the Lord at the foot of the cross celebrating the gospel in which we ALL find forgiveness and redemption. Set aside your petty differences and let the world see the power of the gospel as it unifies and cleanses His bride.”

Thanks, Brad.  We needed to hear that!
