A Critique of Worship Music Criticism | Parchment and Pen
The last question I’d have to ask is if worship music criticism does not point to a deeper issue and that of being critical in general. While I can’t speak for individual motives behind each rendering of criticism, I have found with my own self it stems from a prideful arrogance that somehow my standard should set the precedent for how we worship God....
So my critique is this - stop being so critical. Worship God with music that honors Him with whatever lyrics are consistent with His character, from the simplest to the most compact. Allow others to worship Him as well. Don’t ruin someone else’s worship experience because you don’t think the song has value. If it directs us to the Lord, that is all the value we truly need.
IMO, the argument that rock music shouldn't be used for worship is simply a form of legalism. My comment is a reply to one of the other responses:
