As you are?

Humm.. something that has been going through my mind recently is this whole come as you are notion I am so irritated that we often choose to worship such a creative and amazing God through bad rock/pop worship songs. Where are the integrity and beauty in the poetry of the old hymns surely we need to find more diversity here from talking to one of my young people last night he expressed his hatred for this "youth orientated" band worship he himself is more into the dance and happy hardcore scene and himself is a great producer of music as well as being a talented drummer. So why is it that we don't seem to worship God through different genres there is a massive body of people out there who are out al weekend raving and clubbing as this is the music they enjoy why can't this be turned into a place of worship to God. I myself am a massive blues fan and yet I can think of very little blues and jazz music that are open to me to worship God though within the church. How can we come as we are if we are not being offered something that excites us? This is denying who we are forcing ourselves to enjoy these types of songs because well this is sung worship isn't it? Personally I think most of it's a joke we need to get into god so much more and in so many different ways let’s step out of the box here people! I imagine that this rant is probably at times theologically incorrect and not at times wholly thought through this is because it is purely a rant so please don't get you knickers in a twist over it if you disagree with something.

right then here is your comment you ungrateful woman (whom i love)...
no really... i have to agree with your blog... if are called to worship God with our whole self... this surely means the creative side which we love including our love of muciscal genre. I love muse, and feel i can worship God with their music just as much as i can worship daning to basement jaxx in a club... worship should be anything worthy of bring to God... thats all our actions and all our loves... if we love someone we want to share our taste in music.
