http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arPrM8RCiyo Found another arrangement of I Exalt Thee; and you asked if the song could be sung without music? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ_Jpqh8q6I I think that answers the question, so yes "I Exalt Thee" would be a great song to sing either acapella or...

Greg, Give me an example or two please of "spiritual songs"? I think we can all agree to a point on hymns, and some will agree on the psalms, although it's varied in how the psalms are set to music, so lets focus on spiritual songs for a bit. Give me some titles/artists of spiritual songs that...

Breaking news is there is white smoke coming from the chimney.

popeless.... that's funny! :laugh:

Greg, If we base what we do or don't do, or utilize or don't utilize in our Christian life and/or corporate gatherings based on what the devil uses as "vehicles of compromise", then should we not throw scripture out as well? Gen. 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the...

Can't disagree with your points there. I know there are a number of Christian songs available, many of which would never be played in a worship service because there are Christian songs that don't belong. However, to automatically dismiss an entire genre of music just because of what someone...

Should I walk to school or carry my lunch?

So to see how this would work, (I listen to K-Love radio on my drive to and from work) I listened yesterday and in every song that had Jesus or even God in it, I inserted the name "Sue" to see if it would fit just as well as you claimed. I'd have to say that it didn't fit very well at all...

I've seen bits and pieces of his act on you tube vid's...he is a funny guy, and a lot of it is actual and not made up.

Would really like to see some of your churches hymnals; with all the music that is being tossed about as not good to sing, it's interesting to know what some of you consider good enough to sing. :)

The worship javelin! That's funny!!

That really negates a LOT of styles for worship music, if we all follow the direction of B. Cloud. Interesting that I spent many years growing up listening to many styles of rock music (pop, hard rock, heavy metal, etc.), jazz, country, blues, and I never felt hypnotized by it. Also to note...

Ok, such as? I'm not debating to be on another side of the road on this, I want to see what you folks see in order to try and understand what you're getting at. It is sung with characteristics of a female? Ok, you're REALLY going to have to describe this one for me... So you think Chris Tomlin...

Agreed, I wasn't offering the questions in regard to music selection for service, and I'm with you I don't use those as bullet points in selecting the music for our services; I would say I'm much more aligned with the questions you stated. I was more in a general sense asking in the tenor of the...

The bolded is why I was asking for examples of songs that you think are trash? You're making a very blanket statement and either you've listened to a very different list of worship music than I've experienced, or you're just against any music that you personally dislike. Also, have to give you...

So the question then becomes, WHO defines what a gospel song sounds like? Is it fast? Slow? Medium tempo? Does it have just a piano or just an organ or a combination of the two? If it has guitars and drums is it no longer a gospel song? If there isn't a piano and an electronic keyboard is used...

Care to give some examples?

Yeah, I like many of the artists who use their talents to praise God's name in song! Along with that, I still do and always will love and enjoy singing the hymns that have stood throughout history and IMO always will!

Ok, putting that to the test; a couple quick songs to test your theory... Our God - a more modern hymn/anthem Our God is greater Our God is stronger God, You are higher than any other Our God is Healer Awesome in power Our God Our God And if our God is for us Then who could ever...

I might add, that a vast majority of the music that we sing on any given Sunday morning comes straight from our hymnal, which is very cool because our hymnal has many of the traditional favorites with some of the more recent collaborations included.
