For centuries music has been a part of how we worship God. Even King David himself wrote songs and danced unto the Lord. As tastes in music change and eras of philosophies and theology come and go, the Church has viewed music in different ways. The last few decades have been especially interesting as more modern forms of worship have changed music from being hymns sung in a small church to entire arenas shouting to God, accompanied by a dozen or more instruments. Is one method better than the other? Does it really matter if we stick to the classics or push forward with worship of our own? Let’s look at a few of the ways in which modern worship songs and classic hymns can co-exist and why there can be so much division on this subject.
