Thread Name: Praise Songs vs. Hymns
Subject: RE: Praise Songs vs. Hymns
I had to play guitar for the Luther League when I was in high school. We had folk services that included bad re-writes of things like Blowin' in the Wind (the answer my friend is living in all men). They also didn't like me finger picking. It sort of set me against newer, pop based songs. I like the old hymn tunes. Don't agree with the theology, so I'm not Lutheran anymore. Give me Dave Carter's Mother I Climbed, which he said goes beyond faith in to acceptance. I would also direct you to a youtube video of Billy Connolly explaining why christians shouldn't play rock and roll. But that's not for the feint of heart, so I won't put in a link.
