Why is it that when the topic of church music comes up so many posters confuse personal preference with Divine guidance?

Silent Night was rejected at first because it was in German not Latin and accompanied by a guitar not an organ. Amazing Grace was rejected by some because it was put to the tune of a drinking song.

I love many of the old hymns; I like David Crowder and even some Christian rap. The message matters most.

“Amazing Grace was rejected by some because it was put to the tune of a drinking song.”

References please! (It is easy to keep repeating what you hear, that doesn’t make it true.)

I do hope you understand the difference between a “bar tune” and a tavern song?
