When I was affiliated with Calvary Chapel in Southern California, my 1st wife was a sign language interpreter. We attended a concert there with her client. The music was so loud that the deaf person had to move to the lobby because the music was too loud for him.
Mike, did you attend Phillips Seminary in Oklahoma?
I enjoy an occasional “happy-clappy” song, but too much of that becomes entertainment, rather than worship. It keeps you from thinking about what you are hearing.
Went to a Hillsong Conference concert once. To this day I have no idea what they sang. It was just one mass of noise. Sorry folks but bigger ain’t always better.
I wonder if Mike Morgan, the cartoonist, is aware that the day this was posted, February 24, is the anniversary of the birth of Charles Wesley’s son Samuel who was a composer and composed 100 or more hymn tunes, although few of them survive today even in the most obscure hymnbooks.

I highly doubt it’s the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

They have to play loudly in order to wake God up. Sunday IS his only day for a lie-in.

The New England Conference of the United Methodist Church has a worship band, but they keep the sound at good levels..

John is probably having a heart attack and Charles is experiencing a stroke!

Much of the style of modern “rock” church music is more pagan than Christian. It appeals to the senses rather than the mind.
