    worship songs: does it matter what language it's in?

    Another point I'd like to make; if anyone doesn't know the song Grace Like Rain by Todd Agnew, FYI it's a song with amazing grace as its lyrics but its chorus is about how grace is like rain and how it falls on us and our sins are washed away. It's a Christian Rock song that I became Christian...

    You cannot serve two masters as a Christian Samurai

    That s the statement above about judging, was not for you but another user who said some insulting things on a thread that I posted that came from my heart. I honestly don't think of the Shinto aspect of things when Bushido comes to mind. I believe in Jesus as my Lord God and above all, I serve...

    You cannot serve two masters as a Christian Samurai

    First off, bushido is not Buddhism. Second, samurai were servants and Christians are called to be servants, what more a Christian Samurai, who serves God as the master I serve unwavering fealty to? If you look at the true history, many samurai made God their master and died for it. When the...

    You cannot serve two masters as a Christian Samurai

    This statement was practiced by the Samurai of Old, and as Christians, we should uphold this. I have a dear friend who doesn't know God the same way I do. She believes you can be Christian AND Buddhist at the same time. I however was taught, "you cannot serve two masters." I love her as my...

For example a samurai...

    Contemporary Christian songs ARE worship songs!!

    I wholeheartedly agree that the message is the same. Even if it's in another language, we are all one body

    Contemporary Christian songs ARE worship songs!!

    My point is, just cuz the song is in Korean or Japanese, or English or whatever, doesn't mean it can't praise God. Just cuz the song isn't to your "standards" as a worship song, doesn't mean it's not a song that should be played in church. It doesn't matter if the song is played on a guitar or a...
