Differest styles is one thing, but how could anyone possibly think this song doesnt give Glory to the Lord?..Outstanding harmony...I'd rather have a song sung with a little "feeling" than technically perfect, thus becoming "robotic"
I remember that "stormy night" 13 years ago like it was yesterday, when "just in time I saw the Light", and this poor sinner was rescued from the sea of sin, death and hell!
Thank You Jesus for saving me! Thank God for the Lighthouse!
You all with your comments are unbelievable. I'm not even sure what it is you are calling sliding. You need to ask yourself what kind of God you serve. HE created music to be sung with more than machine like precision. No disrespect to this group they did well considering the genre they are singing. But everyone else on here talking really needs to figure out what pleases the heart of God.
Your response deserves a reply. The 'kind' of God question is a curious one.
If you trust in the Bible as the written Word, then there's no end to a study in music. But two key points come to mind:
Exodus 15:2 and James 3:15. I would conclude that if your 'God is your song' but your music is 'earthly, sensual, or devilish', you are at odds with Biblical teaching on music.
This business of sliding, etc, is nothing when comparing it to "Christian Rap" and other forms of violent music.
Nothing wrong with sliding? Singing is elongated speech. Try sliding while trying to communicate a message and see if the attentions isn't paid to your speech instead of what you are trying to communicate.
Thanks to Bill Gathier and his ilk, Christians have adopted a luke warm understanding regarding music. Does Jesus puke this out of his mouth? We'll find out some day.
If you can by faith sing like the world, abstain from youthful lust, etc in your music, then sing it,
As a leader in music at our church, I purchased all of the CDs offered by a WCBB traveling group last year. I want to support and encourage people whenever possible.
What is sad, is that I could only recommend 1/2 dozen songs out of 10 CDs of music. This was AFTER asking about the methods & techniques employed by the differing groups singing their songs.
Most WBBC folks are super (including a former pastor), but when it comes to music, I've concluded they they park too close to Hollywood.
Have to disagree. While i agree that choral technique is important in its way, communicating the message is of extreme importance. I have witnessed so many groups that have all the choral techniques down, yet have no life in their music. Aside from that, I believe our methods of discerning music have been made more on man's personal feelings and whims, rather than judging solely from the principles of God's Word.
Should have maybe practiced this a little more...

The Corinthian church had hookers working for the church, Is that ok if you do it for the Lord?
