Comments about contemporary Christian music
I got the following quotes that comments on contemporary church music from a workshop led by Tim Hughes.
But who said the above? A pastor attacking Isaac Watts, writer of ‘When I survey the wondrous Cross,’ in 1723!
“There are several reasons for opposing it. One, it’s too new. Two, it’s often worldly, even blasphemous. The new Christian music is not as pleasant as the more established style. Because there are so many new songs, you can’t learn them all. It puts too much emphasis on instrumental music rather than godly lyrics. This new music creates disturbances making people act indecently and disorderly. The preceding generation got along without it. It’s a money making scam and some of these new music upstarts are lewd and loose.”
