Thanks, Joe. Pardon me if I creep a wee bit.

A lot of the "praise music" seems to be staged. Many times, it is a vehicle to showcase the performer, rather than true praise.

Even in the Southern Gospel quartets, it seems to be more of a "show" than exultation.

I suppose that it always comes down to the attitude of the heart more than anything. I have seen instances where someone is singing along in a genuine act of praise while the one performing the song is doing just that...performing.

I am disturbed by a multitude of activities that go on in church groups, including the self-promotion of many who "preach" selflessness.

But,I seek to "mind my own business" and "work out my own salvation..."
