All true, and the abandonment of old hymns in most congregations has ruined the atmosphere of spirituality. The American people are impatient with God but patients with their secular powers.
Very true on both counts.
Amen. Talk about overkill. Attract new members with a rock concert while abandoning the people who are there now by eliminating the old hymns! I said it was a mistake 10 years ago and I stand by that comment today.
We go to a Bible church (that we love), but it is all I can do to make it through the music.
Middle aged former hippies, who couldn't carry a tune in a milk pail, standing in front of the congregation banging on tambourines and trying to sing something to the tune of Kumbaya are the key to restoring spirituality in our churches.
