The last fifty years has produced a violent revolution in music form and culture, such that the generations are hardly able to sit in the same worship service together. Is this the way culture is supposed to develop - each generation rebelling against the previous generation?
Kevin Swanson interviews Dan Lucarini, author of the book, Why I left the Modern Contemporary Christian Music Movement. Does Rock & Roll belong in the worship service? What is the best music to convey a reverence and fear of God in His worship? These are the questions grappled with on this segment of Generations.

Interesting Hmmmm,
a number of good points made. I especially agree with the general point regarding the nature of rock music being at its core fundamentally anti-God. Reminds me of some general points that Allan Bloom made describing the nature of rock music in his book 'The Closing of the American Mind'.
I'm a little bit concerned about Dan Lucarini quoting negatively another reformed pastor: 'God is most pleased, when we are most delighted..' I'm familiar with the source, and it was quoted inaccurately. It should have been 'God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him'. Quite a difference, and quoted accurately would not lend itself agreeably in any way to what Mr. Lucarini rightly noticed that in CCM circles: 'The worship of God is tied to how much we enjoy it'
