Music in baptist churches

[The Portuguese Baptist]

Well, wouldnt people still sing the psalms in synagogues in the original hebrew? Then you can listen to the rythyms even if you dont know the language. […]

Hmm… Probably not. The music was not written at the time, and it is difficult to preserve the music for so many thousands of years, especially considering that the Jews have often been persecuted, especially in the exile in Babylon. Furthermore, do you really want to sing in Hebrew?

I'm from Battle Creek, MI, and I'm used to very inspirational preaching and teaching and very lively music. I made the mistake (a mistake I regret, except that it's a lot warmer) of moving south where the preaching is boring, and the song services are dead.

? I didn't know there was a distinction between north and south, in terms of preaching and songs.
There still seems to be a real divide in america, even though they SAY they are the "'United" States.
