What a stupid article. As long as the congregants are focused on the worship of God in the music, who cares whether they sing or not?
I’ve been equally moved in church by singing traditional hymns myself as well as celebrating God in the beautiful music/voices of others.
Yeah, but it’s kind of sad that people don’t feel led to “worship”/sing, that’s all. I’ve noticed this myself. I think it’s the music and the band. The band’s too loud most of the time, to hear yourself think, and the music is indeed not very good either. When I first became a Christian (in the 70’s), the music was so awesome; as well, there’s nothing like joining in a large chorus of voices singing to God.
Me, too. There have been more than a few times when I couldn't sing because I had tears streaming down my face because the presence of the Lord was so strong and genuine worship and praise was taking place.
