Over at Doxologist Pastor Tim is talking about the last few weeks being toned down when it comes to the musical, corporate worship at Mars Hill Church | Ballard. Then, this last Sunday at some of the evening services, Joel Brown and Red Letter decided to bring
Lacrea and Tedashi from Reach Records on to the stage to lead a very white church in corporate worship.

Pastor Tim goes on to say;

I praise God to be at a church where I have the trust and freedom to follow my convictions, go with the Ghost and try new ideas. At the end of the day I think the only way to keep musical style from becoming an idol is to mix it up as much as possible. You can’t change it up so much that your people can’t even follow you but a good rotation of musical styles and dialects keeps folks on their toes. It emphasizes that music is just one of of a “thousand tongues” with which we can declare the glory of Jesus Christ.
Sometimes I like hip-hop.
