Praise & Worship Trivia #1: Enjoy the comments below written in 1723 by a minister who opposed the introduction of a new, threatening menace known as "hymn-singing." (Taken from "Worship: Together We Celebrate" Leslie B Flynn ....p.75)

"This new music .......
It's too new.
It's often worldly, even blasphemous.
The new Christian music is not as pleasant as the more established style.
Because there are so many new songs, you can't learn them all.
It puts too much emphasis on instrumental music rather than on godly lyrics.
This new music creates disturbances, making people act indecently and disorderly.
The preceding generation got along without it.
It's a money making scheme.
Some of these new music upstarts are lewd and loose."

Sound familiar?

Praise & Worship Trivia #2:Someone asked Charles Wesley why he was writing Christian music that sounded like the styles coming out of the pubs and taverns. His reply was, "Why should the devil get all the good tunes?"

Praise & Worship Trivia #3: Another Christian leader was taking a Christian songwriter on a buggy ride to tour the Union troops during the civil war. While making the tour, the union troops were singing a new snappy tune called "John Brown." The Christian leader said that the tune had become very popular with the troops but that the lyrics were not very godly. So he asked the songwriter if he could put better lyrics to the tune. The next morning the Christian hymnwriter had penned the lyrics of "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic!"
