Have you ever been in church service and notice the
"builder "older generation not participating in the worship service? The most under appreciated generation in current worship trends is the
builders seniors' generation...
Anyone who has been up in a church...Even if not but one Sunday knows how important singing is as an act of Christian worship....Recently though there has been a deep shift in the music found in most churches.....I believe many churches in an effort to be more inclusive in worship have almost excluded a entire generation of people...It seems hypocritical for the church to claim to be "open to all those who believe" but not allow for the spiritual impact the "builders" can have in the church body..... According to some churches, hymns are no longer relevant.....This styles of worship is out dated, and for some even their translation of the Bible has been replaced by a
Amplified, The Message, NIV paraphrased version....I grew up listening to my grandmother sing old hymns inside and outside of the church house.
- Blessed Assurance
- I'm Saved
- I love Him Because he first love me
- A mighty Fortress is our God
- Holy Holy Holy
- Crown him with many crowns
- Oh how i love Jesus
- Precious lord
- YES LORD
- All Hail the power of Jesus Name
- You brought me lord/How much I owe
- I need thee
- Shine on me
Hymns contain our
history and they tell stories.... These are the songs that were written by the
builders generations of Christians before us.....Hymns tell us in such a wonderful way the story of Christ’s and all He did on our behalf...Hymns are a testimony of our faith through the ages....I believe without these hymns we reduce all the greatness of the Christian faith to a modern, feel good fad....I have a number of hymnals: Baptist Hymnal, National Baptist Hymnal and a African American Heritage Hymnal...Lord I haven't heard the "Doxology" and the Threefold Amen in such a long time.
Question: Are hymns part of your church worship service?
