Agreed.

Though I don't have such a problem with SOME of the modern worship music's words--though I prefer a lot of the classics of the faith more.

Even a lot of the choruses are Biblical enough and Christ centered enough. Some may be over simplistic or over redundant.

And, you may be aware of many I'd agree with you on but am not aware of.

But I absolutely deplore the worship music volume being tenaciously pegged literally at 95-125 and even 150db. That's cruel and inhuman punishment. Especially to babies! Sheesh!

And when one complains, in far too many churches, one is labeled a trouble maker or not very spiritual or some such idiocy.

I think they probably make it loud to cover up the gasps of horror from the congregation. I agree, not all modern church music is bad and I have actually heard some very nice things with good, orthodox lyrics, and they don't sound like advertising jingles, either. So maybe there's hope that someday we won't have to grit our teeth every time the music starts up!

My husband complains and nobody questions his authority or his motives.
