And some people are turned off by such overt pandering to the world and culture.

Perhaps some people aren't saved because of drums etc. Ever think of that?

The best you can do is be faithful to Scriptural standards and not give in to the culture. Unfortunately, many today do that thinking it will reach the young.

Being a young person myself, I know just how many ARE OFFENDED by such displays of pandering.

There is actually a pretty big "back to tradition" movement among the youth today.

I agree. My pastor, from when I was a kid, told me that Drums are The Devil. So I became a Bass Player instead. Then, he told me that "Bass" was just a euphemism for "Hell" and so I became a guitar player. He then told me that playing guitar was like musical masterbation, and I would go to Hell.

I play the Triangle, now.

Don't be asinine.

I don't think God cares one way or the other for traditional or non-traditional worship. God wants our hearts in whatever it is we do. If you want to believe that you're worshipping God in the correct way, terrific. Just don't tell others how they must worship. Spiritual pride and religious arrogance are two of the greater sins out there....
