Worship should be an outpouring from the soul. Whether traditional or contemporary music is played should not be a factor.

I like said there are churches out there to meet the needs of different sensibilities.

I do believe the Levites were worship-leaders of sorts for God’s people back in the days. There are many kinds of expressions of worship that are found in Scripture and pleasing to God.

I don’t know how old you are, but I’m 62 and I enjoy contemporary worship and my uninspired NIV bible.. 8-)
