I rarely listen to modern religious radio. I usually don't care for the style of music or teaching that they broadcast. And i am not a fan of entertainment posing as worship. But recently I listened to a so called Christian radio station and I heard the songs that we sing in church here. And then I began to understand something. I understood where our church gets some of it's worship music. I also understood why we sing songs the way that we do. We are singing songs that coming from Christian radio!
I never asked about where our songs came from before. We had hymnals. We had tradition in Foursquare. And occasionally someone would teach us something new. And that is true in this church as well. We sing songs that have been sung here for a long time. The only time a song is wrong is when you change it to suit your ability or when you think you remember how it goes but you do what you think works. This only happens when the song leader is not musically inclined.
Religious radio is not a blessing to me. But if it helps me learn our songs then I will listen more.
