Good for them.

I find a lot of the “Contemporary” music used in Churches today to be rather shallow, repetitive and theologically suspect.

QFT and Amen!!! I like some of the "Praise" music but most has the three failings you note. Nobody seems to be writing the equivalent to Ira Stanphill's "Mansion Over the Hilltop" or the Gaither's "Because He Lives" these days.

Shallow and repetitive is what bothers me the most about the new songs in church. Give a great old hymn by Charles Wesley any day.

Same here. I cannot attend a church service with that sort of music without hearing nails on a chalk board. (thus I do not attend many) There are a few exceptions such as "Awesome God."

Our daughter is young (25), but even she doesn't particularly like the 'Praise' music that's all the rage in the mega-churches these days. She calls it "Jesus is my boyfriend" music. ;o)
