Questions and Responses

Question: I have been disturbed for some time by the “praise and worship” music in my church—even to the point of looking elsewhere. But I seem to find the same thing everywhere I go....Am I just old-fashioned? Help me.

Question: What is your opinion of rock music? Would you condemn it?

Question: [Citing Acts 5:42 - NIV,] Rick Warren hypes different “venues” for different styles of worship and music in his church in order to...accommodate people with differing tastes....Is he reaching a bit here?

Question: How can you be down on all contemporary music, choruses, etc.?

Question: It is unfair to paint...sweeping generalizations [about worship music]. Isn’t the most important issue whether the heart of the musician pleases God?

Question: [Will you] clarify your position [on contemporary Christian music and worship traditions]?

Question: In your October 1999 newsletter, you made a comment in the Q&A section that “the lighting of candles in conjunction with religious observance is a pagan and occult practice.” I beg to differ with you....

Question: I’ve been noticing a trend in my church. More and more, the time designated as “worship” is being taken up by repetitive choruses with little content that would actually promote worship....Am I being too critical?

Question: Is there a significance in Revelation 2 and 3 for verses to speak of “an ear to hear” versus the plural “ears to hear”?

Question: You once made a comment in the Q&A section that “the lighting of candles in conjunction with religious observance is a pagan and occult practice.” I beg to differ with you. God commanded the use of candles in worship of him in the Torah (Ex 25:3
