The debate about these two styles of music was simply a way of voicing other thoughts and issues that were weighing on people's hearts.  I came to realize that in almost every case, when people voiced their dissent about hymns or choruses they had another issue that needed to be addressed.  Here were the five most common issues that I found.

Sometimes we are so inhibited. We cover ourselves up. We hang blinds and curtains on our windows. We tint our vehicle windows. We keep to ourselves, don’t dare to be real with others and don’t nurture deep, meaningful relationships even with our Christ Jesus Lord.

Singing praises to God or worshiping him opens up a window to heaven. As your praise reaches the heart of God, it becomes a two way stream of communication. As you touch God with your praise, his Holy Spirit touches you and ministers to you. Praise and worship can also open the door to blessings from God.
