From Graham Kenrick:

"Someone once said to a church, 'You sing me your songs and I'll tell you your theology.' It is undeniable that songs teach, for better or for worse. Bishop Graham Cray, a leading commentator on the theology of worship and contemporary culture, recently reminded a group of songwriters that, 'worship is the carrier of the Church's story and values ... what we don't have them sing, they may never know.' There is also a need for theological understanding in the way that songs are used together with other components to shape the journey of worship."

"Songwriting: The Creed And The Craft," by Graham Kendrick in Worship Leader magazine.

Songs teach/reveal a lot of our theology. But sometimes there are songs that we like that we both agree and disagree with.

My pastor said, "Worship songs make the greatest liars out of men." Hmmm...
