Why MUSIC in CHURCH SHOULD BE DIFFERENT | Celebration & Affirmation

Why does it seem that the music in churches today is in a shambles? Once the Christian Church was an example to the world for its musical accomplishments. It seems these days the best we can hope for is mediocrity. What most often passes for quality is the ability to mimic what is heard on the local Christian radio station. Let’s think biblically about church music together. Since music is such a personal topic it often generates an individualistic streak in us. Naturally, each of us comes from differing backgrounds, experiences, upbringing, and education. Couple that with how life in the West has promoted tailoring to our personal tastes and styles as many things in our lives as possible through the medium of commercialism and sins that so easily beset us and you have the vortex in which most congregations think of music for worship.
