What kind of music should we have in church? Should we have a modern band, or should we sing classic hymns? Which style of music is better? The answer: Neither. It is entirely a matter of preference. If someone prefers old hymns, then that is his preference. The same is true with newer music by a modern band. Those of us who grew up singing the old hymns in church have to avoid the temptation to be self-righteous in thinking that music is "better," especially if the basis for our preference is that our music is somehow more holy or godly. That is not the case. I have been repenting of my self-righteousness on this issue for twenty years.
