After Warren destroyed traditional worship, it only follows that he would revisit traditional values as well. As a church musician, I have grown to despise the Purpose Driven movement. The Church's magnificent choral tradition has been replaced by unimaginative crap. As organists and choirs are replaced by "praise" bands, the musically-inclined youth have no incentive to study the fine arts.

I am in a praise band. Some of the music done is meaty. Most of it, however, is mediocre at best. The hymns and deeper theological songs have gone by the way side - and it is all because of a purpose driven mentality. Our church is not a healthy church right now because of it and hearts are broken all over the congregation. I stay because God has given me a teaching ministry there and because He hasn't said I could step down from the praise band.
