I would bet that he’s one of those “emergent” types-many millennials, of many denominations, are these days, They are the Trojan horse to mysticism, leftist causes, churches moving from The Great Commission to SJW activism, “tolerance”, then wholehearted acceptance of homosexuality, etc. The focus is taken off of the Gospel and Jesus, salvation, and Jesus being the only way to Heaven, and put on universalism.
It seems to almost always begin with the music. When a church starts substituting “7/11” type “praise and worship music” (that’s repetition of a few lines, over and over and over, with the emphasis of the words being on things like “Jesus Makes Me Feel Good”, and the repetition designed to put the singer {chanter?} in an emotional state), instead of the old hymns which taught doctrine and Scripture, you can begin to look for other signs of the “emergent church” to appear in short order.
No.
You and I are like-minded. (too bad for you i guess :))
I think it started with that praise music and throwing away the old hymnals. That repetitious garbage is like something the Hare Krishnas might use. Mindless chanting and repetition of the same verses.
Equally as bad to me at least is the christian pop. Most sounds like someone took any love song out there, and changed the missing lover into Jesus. Just a little too romantic of a tone for my taste.
Agreed. And I just plain tire of this music-worshipping concert-going approach.
And I am not “old”. I don’t need to be pandered to. I think we should be singing but in awe, in reverence, not rocking out like nuts. I have plenty other times to rock out, thank you very much.
7 words repeated 11 times. Yup, 7-11.
Independent Baptists have thus far, as I understand, stuck with the hymns and not gone “chorus”.
