I can spot a modern worship song coming a mile away. I can tell by the words of the song. I can tell by the arrangement. And I can tell that the song will be repeated over and over again. I am trying to like them but it is hard for me. Once I have said something I do not feel the need to repeat myself ad nauseum.
I have a suggestion to test the validity of these repetitive songs. The next time that you are feeling romantic I want you to go to your wife and tell her how beautiful she is and how wonderful it is to be her husband and how being married to her makes you feel. And then say it over and over again at least 4 times in a row. See how that works for you. She may think that you are crazy.
In our effort to sing new songs we are singing songs that seem to focus on I, or Me, or how I feel or what I do, and not on Christ; who he is and what he is doing or honoring him who saved us from our sins.
Worshipping in spirit and in truth means that we must worship from our heart and our spirit and with our minds so that our emotion is tempered by our understanding.
Some people mistake rattle for revival!
