I came across a really interesting series of posts about the performance of Shout to the Lord during the Idol Gives Back show a couple of weeks ago. You may recall that I thought it was pretty cool that they would sing worship song during the show as a group number. Apparently, there are many who do not agree.
The post that I ran across is written by Josh Harris who is a Christian author. Among the books he has written is “Stop Dating the Church”, which I thought was really well done. So, needless to say his profile is a bit higher than mine. He made a few comments about the song selection on his blog which led to a series of exchanges among blogs. I really think you’ll find the material interesting to read.

The last article is really interesting because it contains responses from some Christians behind the scenes at AI. I think you’ll enjoy reading. If you have any thoughts about what you read, please share them here.
