What's the opinion of many of you regarding the style of music in your church? Some experts say the worship wars of the past are over, while others say they are still fighting those wars. I've visited a lot of churches and I'm seeing a lot of different styles. Most larger COG and AG churches I've been in lean heavily towards contemporary. What's everyone's preference in worship music? And the bigger question would be regardless of the style of music in your church, are you and the congregation engaged in the worship or just a spectator “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

Our church tries to blend the styles (bless their hearts). The people in our congregation engage well and participate.Sometimes I don't know if it's a good thing or not when modern people try to sing old songs. Last week I could not keep myself from cringing when the praise team sang I'll Fly Away. The words on the screen, and the praise team sang it just that way, said When the shadows of this life is gone...--yes,

I am attending Abundant Life in Lakeland, FL currently while I'm on a pastoral hiatus. I also play lead guitar for them. We are contemporary, and the choir does some older contemporary and southern Gospel styles. I personally lean toward the newer stuff, but I can worship to any style The World As I See Itworldjeffreysees.blogspot.com/Revuriah's Facebookwww.facebook.com/people/Jeff-Richard/1226257444Jeffrey David Richard's Myspace Musicwww.myspace.com/547856946

So what about a congregation mostly made up of Seniors that was brought up on the old hymns and Southern Gospel, would it be difficult to adjust to a very contemporary sound? Or,as revuriah said should the style not even matter “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

My church does a good mix.Still have a real choir not just a praise team. We sing choral and contemporary songs. Brooklen tab, Prestenwood, Campus choir arrangements, even Hymns, etc.P&W = comtemp with some traditional hymns mixed in as well every once in a while.We have a Red Back Hymn night once or twice a year.We have a talent night every few months.Usually do a big Easter program. Sing acapella songs for Christmas. All mens choir and all womens choir for special occasions.

OMG. I've been singing this wrong? I'm serious. LOLWell, I was in my early 20's when I finally realized the words to another song was To the Regions beyond, I must go, I must go, tell the world..., I had always sang To the regions below, I must go, I must go. I seriously did that too. (I was finally looking at the hymnal when I saw it).I guess you are going to tell me that He Looked beyond my Socks and saw my Knees ain't right either. Or Praise the Lord, I'll have a new Wife. Surely, I'm not doing those wrong either.

Goodness, I'm so out of it, I have NO idea who Broken tab and Prestenwood wood is. Did Broken tab used to sing with Mylon and Broken Heart

Broken Tab is what you have when you drop your bottle of Tab. I think he meant Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir

Yes, I meant Brooklyn Tabernacle. Sorry didn't check the spelling before I hit submit.
