Music can move emotions without there being any praise involved... a sad song, a heart wrenching song, a dancing song, so many different songs can provide a myriad of emotional responses....one of my favorite songs is sung by Brooks and Dunn call Written in Red (I think) this song makes brings a tear every time I hear it but I don't consider it worship even tho it is talking about the Word of God and the Words of Jesus Christ...
it is just interesting to see the emotional response of those who respond even here considering the sacredness of worship to the moving and sometimes beguiling spirit of music...
It reminds me that Satan himself was the song writer and choir leader in heaven and even in worship the carnal can seem spiritual but the spirit of the music can be as earthly as it seems heavenly...
just thinking...but this my opinion only....  |
The biggest problem I have with this is when you say our emotions can be stirred with no praise....
Although that
CAN be true I dont see why it would fit Misty more than any other psalmist of any other style? When I see the video's of her and see young faces worshipping the Lord I am thrilled!
I know how over the years I have heard the Baptists and other non Pentecostals say the very same thing about Pentecostal shouting. Its all emotion and nothing to do with the Spirit!
I know how I myself am moved to praise and worship when I hear her.
I would challenge you to find
ANY of the lyrics to
ANY of Misty Edwards songs that are earthly and carnal.
