It’s the nature of vacuums to be filled, one way or another. The vacuum created by churches’ failure to teach the Bible has been filled by, among other things, something we might call “pop Christianity.”
Is it any better than New Age drivel, atheism, or out-and-out paganism? Didn’t Israel, in the Old Testament, try to get by with pop Judaism? And how did that turn out for them?
a generation of brainwashed, inclusive, love only- no judgment, p c sin has created this mess. It is so sad.
Yes. And there are other misleading hallmarks of these songs, among with the emphasis on “me” and “I.” Traditional hymnody is different for a reason. Or sixteen. Thanks for posting, Lee!
I favor the old stuff. Can’t go wrong with Isaac Watts or Fanny Crosby.
or the 18th century stuff 😉
I post new hymns when readers ask for them, but my hearts with the traditional stuff.
Have I ever posted any favorite hymn requested by you?
