If your congregation sings only Hillsong choruses, then their emotional repertoire will be limited to about two different feelings (God-you-make-me-happy, and God-I’m-infatuated-with-you) – considerably less even than the emotional range of a normal adult person. It is why entire congregations sometimes seem strangely adolescent, or even infantile: they lack a proper emotional range, as well as a suitable adult vocabulary. But in the psalter one finds the entire range of human emotion and experience – a range that is vastly wider than the emotional capacity of any single human life.Ben Myers on Psalms for all seasons

Ben Myers on Psalms for all seasons
torsdag, mars 12, 2009
Korkade texter
John Stackhouse lackar ur på korkade kristna lovsångstexter, och menar att : "We are the most educated Christians in history, and yet our lyrics are considerably stupider than our much less educated Christian forebears". Ben Myers håller delvis med, men menar att "the majority of hymns have always been pretty stupid".
Själv menar jag att alla lovsånger som börjar med "Jag", borde förbjudas!
