Quix, I appreciate the open dialog about this. I hope I don’t sound like a know-it-all jerk. I really sense that you just want to honor God and do what is right. He is the One we are to please. I certainly could be wrong, but I think if a man or woman’s mind, heart, and motive for singing praise to God is simply to give praise and honor to Him, then it is acceptable to Him no matter whether it is traditional Gospel, a Bluegrass guitar and banjo, rhythm and blues, or even rock.
I also know that Scripture teaches us that we must approach God on His terms, not ours. However, the Bible does give any direction about what style of music is acceptable to Him - but it says plenty about our motives for our service and worship. That seems to be the paramount thing to God.
Thanks for the discussion, Quix and I hope you have a nice evening.
I’m pretty much in your camp. Maybe not absolutely 100% but close.
Well put.
Thanks.
