Before I go on, have you all been to some of these other threads? How many weirdos call themselves Christian and have no idea what scripture really says. And how many strange ideas that are out there. I think I may want to stick to this group where I belong.
Anyway, for the past couple of weeks our music during worship time has had some elements in it I am not too sitting too easy with. We actually were playing Adele's Rolling in the Deep as a welcome/pre-service song. Some have tried to say it is about Christ and His love, but I doubt it. But, I can handle this song I guess. However, I wasn't there the other day and one of the people said we sang a song by Kings of Leon called Use Somebody as an actual worship song. Now keep in mind I wasn't there to back this news up. Some of the words deal with needing somebody and I can see where we can substitute Jesus in for this part of the song. The point where I have a problem is some of the other songs that this group sings is blatantly sexual and seems inappropriate. Google Kings of Leon and Genius lyrics and you'll see what I mean.
I am not a fuddy duddy. I love heavy metal (christian type especially) but I would not use Judas Priest to worship with.
Where do we draw the line? Am I wrong to feel this way? I know we have to reach out to this lost generation of the human race but how far do we go before we have crosse the line?
