I don't want guitars, drums, and the like in service.

Psalms 150

1. Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.
2. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
4. praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,
5. praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
6. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

What we havent covered here in any detail is, it isn't the instruments, it is the music the instruments play.

Hey as I said for me it comes from my upbringing. I attend a church that tried it a few times with the youth band during service. How do I say it? It didn't 'feel' right. The kids were worshipping I guess in their own way but when you've got a congregation with the majority of the people over 50 and most of the rest that attend the church because it's an 'old' Southern Baptist country church, it didn't come across as worship. It came across as noise in a place that was meant to be quiet and honored
