In the secular world, music often defines a person. “What kind of music do you listen to?” is a common question when it comes to trying to get to know someone new. It’s how people are sized up. There’s, again, no question that this area has translated itself to the church experience. Even the speaker has particular tastes as regards music, for the older hymns are definitely preferred. This has been problematic in church going because often it seems in order to attend a church that specifically focuses on hymns, in most cases, one is surrounded by those twice the age. It’s not very popular among the younger folks, so to prefer hymns makes one in this day and age peculiar. But too it’s all in how one sees church worship, and how it should be. Apparently a practice of the early believers was to sing psalms as actual songs during a get-together, a church service if you will. Besides hymns, Paul notes they were also to sing spiritual songs.
