RPW Psalms No instruments...personal
though my church is RPW Psalms and Hymns and traditional instruments
My church holds to RPW-non EP with instrumentation. We sing traditional hymns and Psalms with the use of Piano and other instruments.
However, I personally tend to lean towards RPW- EP without instrumentation.
I'm hoping we actually segue at some point to EP, without instrumentation...there's still hope!
In Sunday School we've been talking about worship. I thought a good distinction was made yesterday that explained why a lot of the contemporary music bugs me (not necessarily the style, which is subjective, but the words). So many songwriters write about their personal faith now, whereas traditional hymns write about the faith, as defined by solid doctrine.
7-11 worship with an occasional hymn. ("7-11 worship" = choruses composed with 7 words and sung 11 times)
I've tried searching, and maybe I'm just too lazy to try every search combination and read through all the threads, but I was wondering if one of you could point me to a VERY GOOD EXEGETICAL case for EP. I voted RPW, because I believe that is my position. However, I would imagine that most who hold to EP would beg to differ with me. I'm not looking for a fight -- I'm admitting ignorance. I would just like to see the EP case made exegetically. Is there a link where I might find such a case?
Thanks.

Oh, the shallow "I love Jesus how about you" stuff. Don't remind me, I'm ready to wake up barfy.
