I want to listen to it and think about it first before just automatically singing it because "well, singing the song is just what we do in church".Kelly J Youngbloodhttp://www.kellyjyoungblood.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-33154430319377153652012-11-10T23:42:43.814-06:002012-11-10T23:42:43.814-06:00I've enjoyed many different styles of worship ...I've enjoyed many different styles of worship music. For me, there are just some songs in any style that pull me out of 'worship' and into whether I like or dislike the music. Sometimes I just enjoy singing the notes and words, but forget that I am doing it in worship. Sometimes it is so difficult to sing in key or know the song that I cannot focus on the worship. Either way, whenever I find the 'worship' part slipping away, I stop singing and I listen. Sometimes it takes a little bravery to just stop singing in church, but if quieting my own voice and listening brings more worship from my heart, then that is what I do.Tia Dyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-37472493711338017292012-10-31T13:06:35.639-05:002012-10-31T13:06:35.639-05:00Jenn,

I like a lot of the old hymns, but I personally think they sound so much better with piano, guitar, whatever. But sometimes, organ music can be powerful, even if it is not my preferred kind.Kelly J Youngbloodhttp://www.kellyjyoungblood.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-16254690125950582372012-10-31T13:04:55.102-05:002012-10-31T13:04:55.102-05:00Somehow, a comment went through to Blogger, not Di...Somehow, a comment went through to Blogger, not Disqus, but never posted here, but I got an email alert about it anyway. So apologies to Jenn Cahill who wrote the following even though it didn't show up here:<br /><br />"I just discovered the church shopping posts and find them extremely insightful. Personally, if I had to choose I would pick contemporary worship music any day. I can worship in any setting because my focus is on God. But personally I can not stand the old organ music thing. In my daily life I listen to a lot of styles of music. My favorite is sort of indie rock. One thing I (and no one I know does either) listen to is organ music so I tend to avoid having it inflicted on me in worship if I can!"Kelly J Youngbloodhttp://www.kellyjyoungblood.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-40390099816651225702012-10-30T08:31:12.091-05:002012-10-30T08:31:12.091-05:00I just discovered the church shopping posts and fi...I just discovered the church shopping posts and find them extremely insightful.

When it comes to actually choosing then I think it'll be stressful. But, by then, whenever then is, hopefully there will be some clarity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802930103300388945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23060911.post-86840640876608577102012-05-07T12:45:43.508-05:002012-05-07T12:45:43.508-05:00The above comment was from me.
