He wasn't exclusive that that is the reason we sing. He included praise and thanksgiving, worship, etc. Obviously we do share lyrics in written form to one another, but I think he would say that isn't singing.<br /><br />I agree that making eye contact is uncomfortable. He acknowledged that in his book, but said we should learn how since we are singing to one another. <br /><br />I just thought it was an extremely interesting chapter, bringing up many things I hadn't thought about before. I think it's worth delving into more.<br />Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851739091475167571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9796652.post-29625009036053777502013-10-16T08:06:38.920-05:002013-10-16T08:06:38.920-05:00I believe the songs should be the type that people...I believe the songs should be the type that people CAN sing along. Familiar and easy enough. A melody that lends itself to be sung.<br />I really don't believe that during worship we are singing psalms and hymns to EACH OTHER. I feel it is sung to God. Interesting point: that we should look each other in the eye. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but no. That would be uncomfortable for me. Many sing with eyes closed and hands raised in worship to the Lord.<br />I find that sharing of songs hymns and spiritual songs come into play on Facebook, handwritten notes and letters to others, and in conversation.<br />Interesting article. But maybe making it more than it needs to be. Just singing to the Lord in praise from a grateful heart. MelodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
