Highly respected Chuck Colson made some strong remarks in a ChristianityToday.com article Soothing Ourselves to Death. He begins the article:
When church music directors lead congregations in singing contemporary Christian music, I often listen stoically with teeth clenched. But one Sunday morning, I cracked. We'd been led through endless repetitions of a meaningless ditty called "Draw Me Close to You," which has zero theological content and could just as easily be sung in any nightclub. When I thought it was finally and mercifully over, the music leader beamed. "Let's sing that again, shall we?" he asked. "No!" I shouted, loudly enough to send heads all around me spinning while my wife, Patty, cringed.
Read the entire article and then read Bob Kauflin's Entering the “Draw Me Close” Conversation (a well balanced response to Colson's article), then share in the comments what you think, especially in relationship to how Korean Americans worship. Do you agree or disagree with Colson? What do you think of Kauflin's response?
