Perhaps one should ask about the music; "is there a difference between entertainment and worship? Does it preach the word?" Is it doctrinally rich, or is it trite repetetive phrases. Does the instrument lead and accompany or overpower the message of the word in the music?" So much of today's modern worship is due to "pop' mentality and that is what is so annoying.

It is so annoying that studies are showing the only ones who really go for "contemporary" worship any more are the boomers. This generation of teenagers says, "you've got electric guitars in church- we've got better ones on MTV. You've got loud repetetive music - we've got better on VH1. We don't want what we already have, we want worship that is out of the ordinary, that connects us to the eternal rather than the temporal, we want something with history and roots."

The pendulum has swung once again.
