Christians/ex christians: What is your opinion of Comtemporary Christian/Worship Music? [Spirituality & Religion]

I know some of the more fundamentalistic churches preach against it saying it's of the Devil and some embrace it with others mixing classic hymns and modern CCM/ Praise and Worship music. I personally believe it's ones prefrence and some of it is just as good as classic style hymns.

I love music during services. It can be classical, or modern, and I love all of it. It's all about praising our Father in heaven.

So called Christians who think this is of the devil, or that other thing is demonic, had better look at the squirmy evil worms inside their own heads making them think thoughts like that.

@4meAndyou a lot of the classic hymns and songs have been made contemporary

@Smahala1991 I love all of it. Music can be very beautiful during services, and it is supposed to lift up our minds to heaven.

I agree. I can remember when churches started to embrace the more modern worship music style starting with "Awesome God" by Rich Mullins and "Lord I Lift your Name on High" back in the 90s

@Smahala1991 I participated in Catholic folk masses when I was in high school. I only knew four chords on my guitar, but it was enough. I think we sang, "Hear, Oh Lord."

@4meAndyou The Bible proclaims that Satan will stand in the Holy place in the last days, and many will worship a "false Christ" MAtt 24 I love hymns, but I can't find a lot of churches that have hymns. I think we have to know our Bible. The hymns are about God and his Holiness and are often Gods own words from scripture. Spiritual songs are sometimes about God, but mostly how we feel about God. I love spiritual songs, however don't replace the hymns.

@Carazaa The holy place in the bible is the temple in Jerusalem.

I know I am not too discriminating when it comes to whether hymns are played or not, just because I have heard classical violin music without words played in church and the beauty brought tears to my eyes. The only other thing that brings tears to my eyes is the love I feel for God.

@4meAndyou The Holy place is the temple in Jerusalem? I am not at all sure about that, although that is what the churches are saying.
