I miss the old songs. I feel like I'm going to a concert sometimes. Where you have to keep your eyes open to keep up. Instead of closing your eyes and singing to God the simple words like "yes Lord, yes Lord, from the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, oh yes Lord".
The church I used to go to, I felt like I was atna High School pep assembly
I am definitely a mix when it comes to my worship music. I grew up in the 80's and 90's when the whole praise and worship had started taking over. Those are songs that have had high influence on me personally. I didn't really start learning the hymns until I was in bible college when I got my first hymnal for a required class. The more I learn them, the more I love them. The Lord called me to be a church pianist when I was 13. He made the way for that to happen. He lead me to a church where I could train for what I do now. I'm a church pianist in a church that sings the hymns every service. It's true, the hymns can make my hardest days easier. My coworkers could tell you I sing a lot at work.... normally either a hymn or a pre-2005 worship/praise song. This year I started doing live videos where I select a hymn to play. It has floored me that people are watching these that I have no idea about until they bring it up in person to person conversation. The Lord is so good and I'm so thankful that He chose to use music in my life to bless others
I so heartily agree with Mark Lowry. I have an old soul and have been told that many a times. Yet I still will sing the new songs but would love to hear the songs from my youth and the songs my parents and grandparents used to sing. Those are the songs that get me through the most difficult days when they happen and the sorrow and the joys in my life. Let's not forget the hymns for they are valuable for getting you through life.
Mark is hilarious and such a great musician and singer. He has brought a lot of people to the light.
My church does the old hymns. I love it.
He is right! Today's churches don't sing hymns anymore. Fortunately, I do go to a church where they do. I celebrate the Lord in sign language to the old hymns! I've done Blessed Assurance, In the Garden and it feels so good! Let's sing to the Lord!
4:12 - Hahaha, Mark roasting modern Christian music "lets repeat it a hundred times"
I'm dead, lol
I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......I praise God for my dear precious and of course hilarious and nutty Mark Lowry!!!!!! and all the Gaither Vocal Band also just every man or woman sold out to Jesus in many ways!!!!!! I pray for their ministry and that God would fill all their hearts with much obedience and strength to much glorify the wonderful name of Jesus Christ in all they say and do!!!!! To God Be All The Glory!!!!! however folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! It is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!
Finally, sound wisdom on today's church songs.
Love all old hymns. Praise the Lord Mark Lowry loves them too. And I can still hear them from him singing and telling us how wonderful our Lord Is for us. GodBless you all who loves Jesus. ❤️❤️
Yayyyy!!! I was not expecting this crossover!!!
I LOVE Mark Lowry!!
By the way Kirk, you are killing it with this show. These are some of the most interesting people and some of the most interesting interviews I have heard. Keep it up.
Agreed, we need to hear the old hymns too. I love a lot of today’s music but we still need the hymns, amen.
My church does a service just for people who want to sing the old songs!! We are so blessed!!!
This so ministered to me. I feel like I’m the only one in all these churches who long for my Baptist hymnal roots. I don’t say much about this I keep it to myself because I really don’t want to be a disruptive sister in Christ but lately it is really bothering me. I feel just like you said Kirk just watching someone else perform. I look at those around me and they are barely singing mostly just swaying back and forth. There’s no life in the songs we sing. Very somberly. The worst was Easter not one resurrection song I about died. My parents (who have both passed away) would be beside themselves. Anyway it’s nice to know I’m not the only one out there that misses the solid teaching and faith anchoring hymns.
That was one of the best interviews ever. Thank you.
I agree!! As a new(er) believer (became a believer about 7 years ago at age 35), I was sad that so many churches don’t include the hymns because I didn’t grow up with them so I didn’t know them and I wanted to learn them!. We did find a (more old fashioned) church that we love now that does both. It does lack a bit of the pep and younger families that the newer, more “hip” concert-like worship ones have. But we chose the church family and teaching over that. No church is perfect but I absolutely agree that we should not throw out the older wonderful hymns. So many have such interesting back stories and were born out of much sorrow and true trust in the Lord.
Love to hear Mark sing, to hear his message about the order things happened about his music was a blessing. Thank you.
I love the hymns. When the praise/worship songs began coming into the church it was difficult for me personally. Instead of rejecting the new, I chose to listen to as much of the new material I could so I would feel more comfortable with the material. Change is difficult, yet necessary for growth. I really enjoy when our church leaders blend both styles during the service. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Love old hymns!
When I came to Messiah in 1985 Maranatha singers music was the worship music heard and played, this music is so heavenly annointed in bringing one into His presence that it’s literally BANNED IN THE CHURCHES!
The old hymns are like old friends and we miss them when in a church that doesn’t include them. My daughter made a piano cd “Softly and Tenderly” and other old hymns that I played almost every day to help my recovery.
Hello everybody, I also love Mark Lowry, and this Saturday, June 24th he becomes a senior citizen by turning 65.
To the rest of us seniors who love our brother Mark, we just call him kid.
I'm 73 and hoping to meet Kirk in heaven, or maybe when Jesus comes back. Either way I'm ready Kirk. 😇🫶
Awesome to see a Gospel music singer interview! Next up? Scott Wesley Brown, Steve Green, Larnelle Harris, and Sandi Patty. I’m sure Scott would love to play his guitar. Bring it.
I agree with Mark, not only did some churches loose the hymns, they lost the lights in the churches.
I love all the old hymns!!!
Oh My Goodness, I loved this conversation so much! I was "Yes'en", saying "Amen", clapping my hands, absolutely full of JOY, listening to this!! You both nailed how I feel completely!! I do need to remember what Mark said at the end, "Stand up & take a look around & be joyful that the youngers are 'getting it' "!!!
I watch "Just Whenever " whenever I can...love it!!! Thank you, Mark!!! ❤️
Oh how I miss the hymns. I have a red back hymnal I use during my devotions. You rarely find hymns being sung in church. Shallow songs mostly 😢
Our victory is already won
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O ruler of all
Oh my, I Love This Hymn! Such sweet, meaningful songs.
@@Belief03 Some Irish, many years ago tapped into the Christ within us.
Wish you would interview christian singer, David Phelps. Enjoyed interview with Mark
He dragged me in with his great sense of humor and I accepted the Southern Gospel music because of it.
Can you influence TBN to do a weekly hymn sing? You are so right about the depth of the lyrics in the old hymns. They are hard to find.
I love that story about Mark's mama! Sooo funny and I can just imagine it. I played piano in our Southern Baptist church from the time I was 12. I think our church got their giggles by watching the expression on my face - everybody told me they could tell when I made a mistake by the expression on my face! LOL - glad I could provide entertainment for them! Love your comedy, Mark! Thank you! Oh - and I love the hymns so so so much! They really do get you through the tough times - pray and sing hymns! I have Precious Lord, Take My Hand engraved on my gravestone. I need God's grace every day every hour every minute!
I totally agree the churches are all into the new worship, and it's nothing like the old hymns that have been pinned from their own lives.. meditate on the words of the old hymns you'll reach another level in God😇❤️
hymns are the best!!!! it is well with my soul. his eye is on the sporrow and I know he watches me. when i was growing up we never raised our arms in paise like we do now. you go to some churches and people look like your strange.
That's exactly RIGHT MARK LOWRY..mrs Lynne liles
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
SUCH A LOVE FOR THE LORD BROTHER MARK EXUDES!
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
Wow is Mark a great interview. Great job Kirk on an amazing, genuine, down to earth show. Love it. This is such good advice to new songwriters to write contemporary songs with accurate and deep theology.
I sing or listen to GVB when I have AN MRI glad you don't have MS. I do have MS. and Fibromyalgia. God has used my illness to HIS Glory
There’s only two comedians that make me laugh: Don Rickles and Mark Lowery!
Catholics still use hymn books and LOVE the hymns! It is a great part of Mass!
I agree every generation has their own music but the old stuff is inspired by God sing it too
Great interview!
Yes and Aman
Prayer Bells of Heaven is the song that I have in my mind
Yes, church “worship” nowadays seems like a concert.
It’s so hard to actually worship in the LOUD music. We seem to have lost the actual worship of the Lord.
……HAHA! “Old people tithe”…. Haha! So true!!!!
The millennials have taken over in the music played in today’s mega churches and thus very very difficult to feel the presence of the lord!
I would like to see the American church also embrace Messianic singers like Joshua Aaron . Give him a listen.
I needed to hear this... I am so wary, they really took a special kind of hatred towards the content I make on this platform... they've been walking Me down The Green Mile a long time.... John Coffey : You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain.
Standards of you living , soul
The Hymns...were the contemporary Christian music of their day. The Great Great ones live on. It was the same with 70s 80s and 90s Christian music ... It will be the same with Today's worship music.
Let's stop making it like Hymns ARE scripture. Scripture based ? Sure many are. But so are many of today's songs.
God is STILL Speaking to Christian Musicians TODAY !!!
THE REASON Blessed assurance and Hymns speak to some is that what they 1st heard when Jesus became important to them.
I don't like when people try to make Hymns bigger and better than Today.
It's where you came from !!!
But YES play the GREAT ones !!!
Don't assume some of Today's song won't Become a Great one !!
I completely concur with the subject of this show, the music played in today’s mega churches is trash with Christian lyrics! Give me Maranatha music 1970’s-1980’s and George Beverly Shea, Ernie Ford, Perry Como, and traditional Hymns instead of today’s worldly church music!
Here's some of the verses saying you can and some will fall away.
1 Timothy 4:1
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
Hebrews 6:4-6
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
Revelation 2:4-5
4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place--unless you repent.
Hebrew 3:12-19
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
15 while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Mathew 24:10-13
And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
2 Peter 2:20-22
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.
21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."
A message they need to preach in every church in America and the world.
Google bible fall away and see how many bible verses that come up that you can fall and people will fall away.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
1 Corinthians 5:1
It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles that a man has his father's wife!
Paul said to deliver such a one to satan for the destruction of flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Later the person repented and didn't have his father's wife anymore and was allowed to stay.
1 Corinthians 5:9-11
I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexual immoral people.10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Churches, pastors, and the Body of Christ is allowing people shacking up, divorced and remarried and not allowed, guys, homosexual drag queens, witchcraft, tarot card readers, free masons that worship lucifer the great architect, idolaters, sexual immorality, covetous etc to leaven the whole lump and we allow it.
Yes, you come as you are a sinner, you don't stay that way. And if you do we are to deliver them to Satan for the destruction of the flesh.
Pretty plain to me from the scriptures.
DO what you are supposed too, tell your pastors to do their job.
Tell the Body of Christ to do their jobs.
Repent and follow Jesus!
You come as an adulterer, drug addict, drug dealer, prostitute, witchcraft don't stay that way and keep sinning, sitting in the church, leavening the whole church, infecting the church with sin causing yourself and others to possibly fall away. Repent or the church will deliver you to Satan for the destruction of the flesh.
I miss old hymns and what I really hate, and I'm sorry Lord, but people are now adding verses to hymns and changing words and it drives me nuts
Great point! Exactly my problem with our church service!
WE NEED FANNIE!! 😂
Yep , Fannie wasn't a celebrity, she wasn't a beauty queen that the world would love, That's because she had a heart for Jesus, not an "Industry" but a ministry is what she was
We do need to bring back the great old hymns with the new choruses. We need to change up the worship from time to time. It is becoming tedious with a constant redundancy and roaring. The imitating culture or seeker-sensitive is failing. People thirst for authenticity and power of the Spirit. Not power of sub-woofers, lighting and smoke machines. They can get that same thrill from a local pub. The Ekklesia needs to be innovators not world imitators. We are the salt and should be different from the world we flavor.
Be terrified by the pace of empire
I am so sick of the all the songs we sing in church what happen to TheOld Rugged Cross,Power inthe Blood.
Kirk... the Ephesians verse.
We're the HYMNS they were talking about OUR HYmns ????
NO ... our Hymns are spiritual Songs. GOD created music LOVES Music !!! And He isn't against NEW music... it says sing unto the lord a NEW Song !!
HYmns Choruses Modern Worship... its ALL New songs compared to to Ephesians was talking about !!
I don’t judge I just know what I like and I don’t like the current praise music.
I didn't think it was about us. I thought it was about what God likes. He is a God of variety. I would think He likes different kinds of worship music. People all over the world worship Him with different types of music. Many of the new songs are scripture taken directly from the Bible & put to music. Holy Spirit will inspire people to write music until Jesus returns. Hymns are great! A lot of the new music is great! Much of the new music is sung to Him, not about Him.
Everyone is already saved. Jesus died on the cross for all. Jesus suffered in our place for all. Jesus rose from the dead for all. Christians have it wrong about Jesus saving only those who believe in him. Jesus loves everyone and he saved everyone that he ever created. This is the Good News that Jesus told us to tell all the world. Your loved ones and anyone who did not receive Christ in this lifetime were saved by Christ on that great day. All are saved whether Christians preach that non believers are going to hell. Jesus will send no one to hell and no one can put themselves in hell.
Same interview-same comedy routine as ever. But still funny.
A small number of well known online Grace churches I listen to , have awful 'Christian' singers and bands singing and playing 'noise' . It's the only way I can describe it .
40 minutes or more of so called worship music , before a brief message or sermon .
Those pastors need to rethink how they do praise and worship .
Reintroduce melodic , traditional hymns where the congregation join in .
Stop the guitar strumming and synthases and banging drums .
If I had to listen to that stuff in heaven , I'd be thinking what must hell be like.
It does nothing but irritate and annoy me .
