Music is a funny thing.  Last night I found myself listening to Pavoratti, Josh Groban and various other classical types.  Then this morning I jumped in the car and listened to Fee.  Right now as I write I’m listening to Damien Rice.  There is a massive spectrum of music that my moods will guide me through.  I turn to different music at different times.

In the world of worship we encounter the same sort of thing.  We see many different flavors of worship presented to the world around us.  At times it feels to me like the style of worship rather than the quality or attitude is the most necessary credential when looking for a church home.  The spectrum of worship is so diverse!  The question is have we pushed it to far?

In Genesis 3:5 we see Moses in the presence of God and this is what God requires of him, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”  Moses was in the presence of God and he needed to prepare himself to be in that position.  He was instructed to remove his filthy sandals.

Do you think that it is the spectrum of musical styles that would be problematic for God or the ways in which we approach him through those styles.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
