A dated illustration but adaptable: Is God less pleased by guitar than organ? Does he prefer to be praised by Bach more than by the "Blues?" Does he like "for All the Saints" better than "When the Saints Go Marchin’ In"? Our youth are teaching us that Jesus as the "Lord of the Dance" is much more compelling to them (and to many of us as well) than Jesus as the lamb of God. They are teaching us that we are to be our real, worldly, honest selves in the chancel and not some phony "gothic" self.

The nice thing about modern music is that if the musicians make a mistake it doesn’t make any difference.
