Much *Christian* worship music is not about exalting God any more.

A lot of it is about *I* and *ME* and what I do and how I feel, what God’s going to do for me, etc.

A lot of it is repetitive and when you sing the same verse over and over 15 -20 times (counted some my self in the church we often attend) you know it’s just emotionalism.

I told my kids when they became teens and first were interested in *Christian rock* that they needed to be able to understand the words and they needed to be Christian (praising God). And don’t expect me to listen to it.

Much today can’t even be understood because of the music drowning it out.

There’s also the concern that much of the repetitive, heavy beat is designed to put the hearers in a trance and mass hypnotize the hearers so when certain words are spoken (like *FIRE*) they fall down, being *slain in the Spirit*, so they think they’ve had a spiritual experience.

And one thing I’ve learned lately, is you just can’t question someone’s experience. They defend them to the death, even if they aren’t Scriptural. You just can’t tell them otherwise.

I don’t like this type of music and refuse to sing it.
