Thread Name: Do you need to *believe* what you sing?
Subject: RE: Do you need to *believe* what you sing?
Bill Your article is almost scary! "God's Word plainly forbids His people to love the world." And I hafta share 'His people's' unloved world?
Beam me up ...
I remember horrifying the membership of the Music Teacher's Association when I joined at age 20, by actually daring to perform and allowing my students to learn 'popular' music. One of them tried (vainly) to get me to change my ways by warning "Any music with a back-beat is sinful!"
But we were just so wonderfully addicted to that "sinful" boogie and blues and rock and pop ... did our penance by suffering all those scales and etudes anyway I figure!

PS I don't think you need to *believe* what you sing, but when I do it sure adds fervour (or something like that)!
