Featured Contemporary Music??????

Wow. Very sad.

 

Yes--I'm actually on board with the newbies more reformed theology. But you do not go into a church in the Wesleyan connection and lead it out to be a Calvinist plant by legally stealing the building.

And it makes it very hard for above board reformed folks in the area to make any headway at all. For that matter, it makes it hard for anyone trying to improve anything in any church in the area, as all are now super wary of "change."

 

Isn't it amazing that something as trivial as musical style can lead to such a divided congregation? I have seen and heard of this happening more than once.

IMO, both sides of the argument are guilty of sin when it becomes such an issue that it is damaging to the congregation. The "our music is fresh, your music is old" mentality is sin, as is the "we built this church and our opinion is what counts" argument.

And meanwhile, while the fight over music takes place, there is a lost world out there.

Regards, hope it all works out for your congregation,
