“I am certain much of what passes for worship in our day is repugnant in the sight of God. It’s irreverant and little different from secular entertainments. I think we should ask the following of anything we do in the name of worship: Is it in accordance with the Scriptures? Is it for His glory or does it please the flesh?”

I think we have to be careful about distinguishing between content and vehicle: the vast majority of the praise tunes that are sung in contemporary churches are either direct Scripture or paraphrases of Scripture. Paul says to use “hymns, psalms and spiritual songs”, he says nothing about tempo or instrumentation.
