You know it. I’m feeling so much more relevant.

Alexis,

You’re absolutely right that our praise and adoration ought to come from the heart. But if you truly love someone aren’t you the least bit interested in finding out what really pleases them?

I don’t understand the problem. Why do we have to ask God how to express our love to him? Wouldn’t it be more real if it came from your own heart? What’s wrong with love songs to Jesus…I love him and i want to tell him how i feel. So you want me to ask him how I should feel…and then tell him what he just told me? That’s shallow.

Shelly,

I guess the question I would have to ask you is this. What do you believe is the “biblical” core for personal worship? What is God’s desire for how we express our love to Him? What is the viewpoint of scripture on this subject?

Please understand, I’m not advocating worship without emotion. Certainly David when he danced before the Lord got pretty emotional. I’m more concerned with the level of shallowness that seems to permeate so much of what we call worship. What seems apparent is that the depth of our worship (or the lack there of) is an unfortunate reflection of the depth of our relationship with Him.

I have to say, and without condemation to those who share your belief, that I have to disagree with your veiwpoint on this subject. “Warm fuzzy” emotional songs, while not the core of my personal worship to my King, are a big part of it. I sing my praises and worship to my Maker and my King every day. Thats just how I am. I am a vocal worshiper and music and song are my medium. I love my King with all my mind heart and soul and I feel the need to express that to him on a daily basis much like I do to my childen. I do agree with your comment to Jon above, there is much much more to loving God, but ultimetly expressing your love with love songs to Jesus is deffinatly appropriate and should be promoted. Blessings, Shelly – a christian in love with my King

Homeschooler Jon,

I guess the point I was trying to make is that there’s much MUCH more to loving God then expressing warm fuzzy emotions.

i agree with most of what you say above, however i cannot agree with you attitude towards love song to Jesus. I Love Jesus. That is the first of the two commandments that Christ listed when asked what the greatest commandment were. Luke 10:27 ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’. We also see Christ questioning Peter about his Love in John 21 Oh i know Jesus was talking about 3 different kinds of love but it was still Love that Christ was after. Also Song of Solomon has some lovey dovey stuff in it. so please dont hate to much on peoples love expressed through song.

God Bless,
Jon

ps. sorry about the spelling (Home schooler)
