But Granger Community Church which is a trendsetter for the post moderns recently opened with a Poison song.

Click on link below to view it in their worship service and give your thoughts. Its a growing trend out there.


I am opposed to this.

Unless it was an inspirational or general feel good song (I'm thinking, "Lean On Me or something like that) it does not have a place in a worship service.

A worship service should be more about HIM than it should about the people worshiping HIM.

Many secular songs may not be anti-God, but very few do little, if anything, to point people in the direction of love of our GOD and our brothers and sisters.



Where is Michael W. Smith when you need him? I can hear him singing now, "When the music fades and all is stripped away...."
