My main objection to the “praise” music is it is repetitious and doesn’t really “praise,” IMO”

My main objection to a lot of praise music is that while MUCH OF IT IN FACT DOES “praise God”, especially scripturally derived.(Such as the song of Miriam and the prophetesses...known as Horse and Rider)....some praise and worship teams repeat each song about 10 times, making the message of the song sound like a repetitive mind control cultic rant! Twice is enough for some of these songs then they should move on to other songs, testimonies, scriptures, ect.!

I'm 50 + and grew up singing from the old Broadman hymnal. I love those old songs but I like some if the new too. I'd much rather sing the new version of One Day than plod through ALL there verses of the old hymn like we use too.

What I don't understand is the dogmatic hatred by some (mostly older) members for the new stuff.

Ironically, the old hymns they love were once “new” music and much was rejected by the church establishment of the day. Silent Night was rejected at 1st for not being sung in Latin and guitar accompaniment.

Style of song worship not being directly addressed in scripture leaves a matter of opinion and taste.

Unless you are Jimmy Swagger, you preach a TV sermon on the evils of modern music before your commercial for your new Southern Gospel album.
