I have noticed this problem with the youth also. The reason why we don't have guitars or drums in church playing is because we want to focus more on the words not on the music. We don't want to fall into the trick of just getting into the music, we …

Elijah didn't kill them. He had them killed, if that makes a difference.

That's pointless to put a copyright on hymns. First of all it's not even their material, they are just putting already created material on a disc with their voice. This shouldn't be copyrighted at all. I personally believe that they shouldn't have t…
