Serving Assorted Preferences and Future Generations in Our Songwriting: Kevin's Quick Response
An observation and follow-up question:
In our efforts to give authentic voices to the praises of modern people, we have, I think rightly, attempted to write modern worship songs. However, it often seems to me that much of the "modern" music really isn't that modern. This is possibly because it's written by more mature saints (a good thing), but the tunes often sound like they're microwaved from the previous decade.

- Is it worth the effort to write "modern" worship songs?
- How can we give voice to modern man without becoming obsessed with being "hip?"
- How do we balance being culturally relevant with being historically connected? Or are either important at all?
