Then God brought me to the point where I realized that this is the music most people were used to and if we were going to reach people we needed to reach them through music they were familiar with. So I made the transition and now I like Rock and Roll. Sometimes it is just a matter of getting beyond your prejudices.

He reminded me of how the older folks in the 1970s loved hymns but sang praise choruses because those songs attracted younger folks like me. Sometimes we older folks need to embrace relevant change to love our younger friends. And it turned out that I began to like that music once I gave it a chance. :)kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995252502628895189.post-21397677257126985492013-04-19T20:40:05.539-07:002013-04-19T20:40:05.539-07:00That sounds like the right kind of relevance to me...That sounds like the right kind of relevance to me.Mike Erich the Mad Theologianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682504413797395786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995252502628895189.post-40621612153128162422013-04-19T09:12:27.841-07:002013-04-19T09:12:27.841-07:00The message must stay true to the scriptures but t...The message must stay true to the scriptures but the method must always be relevant to the one who hears the message. Here is an example.<br /><br />A few old folks complained that the pastor had jeans on for our Easter morning service. Yet many homeless folks from the mission (we are a downtown church) and other young visitors were made to feel comfortable by his appearance.<br /><br />The pastor was not using his appearance that morning but just being himself - and that came across clear to most. In a sense he was relevant simply because he was himself.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.com
