It matters where our worship music comes from. Let’s think twice before singing Hillsong and Bethel
Singing songs from churches mired in abuse scandals or grappling with failures in leadership is financially supporting something that Christians should be opposed to, says Tom Read. We need to rely less on a fast-food diet of imported worship if the Church wants to be truly healthy.
Blogger: I get the concerns, I really do - but remain neutral. Two years ago, Mrs Blogger did did an in depth investigation of Bethel and concluded that it 'wasn't her cup of tea and she would not ever be prepared to join them but they were not so dreadful that she would refuse to use their often excellent songs'.
Maybe I should encourage her to take a long hard look at Hillsong where the overall culture, prima facie, appears rather more concerning than that of Bethel.
(Never forget that Satan wants Christianity to become suspect to unbelievers.)
