Wow! I bet that was some experience! Can we take lessons from the young people? Oh yes I can. In my teens, I was a member of a very conservative church. Contemporary music you say. How liberal. Those drums...sound of the devil. The "beat" of those other instruments. Had to be just a piano and organ. I was one of those people who thought that. I raised my sons telling them the "beat" is of the world, etc. Well...let me tell you. God has opened my eyes. He has made me aware that who am I to judge what is in another person's heart as far as music worship.
I praise God that all types of music can be used to honor and glorify God... whether it's contemporary or southern gospel or just piano. Are we singing and praising God the Father in our music? Are we in the heart of worship?
It's celebration time!! We have something to celebrate that is for sure. Let's not dry up and turn our faces from the music that God put in our hearts. My oldest son is now in our praise team serving God with his music that God put in his heart. I praise the Lord Jesus Christ for this.
You don't think that God can shine through the David Crowder Band? I do. Do you think that God can shine through southern gospels "Greater Vision" or "The Hoppers" [hey, my fave is southern gospel--what can I say, I am 53 years old] and do you think that God can shine through my little JAM Kids as they sing and celebrate? I certainly do.
It's all about Jesus! | 
This is David Crowder, I had never listened to any of his music until I attended a concert at Liberty University with our college and career group. I am 56 years old and I couldn't understand some of the lyrics but thankfully they projected the words on two big screens. After I adjusted to the volume and the style of the music, I really appreciated what his songs had to say. His music is not for everyone but I honestly think he is singing for the Lord. While in college he recognized so few college kids were attending church on Sunday that he formed a band and started a contemporary service to reach these kids for Christ and the David Crowder Band was born. He is a music director in a local church and travels the country spreading the message of Christ through music.
