Although I enjoy many styles of music for secular listening, I would argue that the music that we use in the worship of God ought to be distinct from that which we use for pleasure. We ought always remember that an important aspect of God's holiness is his otherness. Although it is true that we are made in his image, he is far greater than us in every respect! Would we dress, speak, or behave the same way to meet an earthly king as we do when we are relaxing around our homes with our families? Of course not! How much more then should the music we use in our worship of the King of Kings, whether for private, family, or public worship, be separate and distinct from the music we enjoy for personal pleasure!
