Framing the Worship Setting: Lyrical Content Explored

Many pastors and worship leaders propose that any song, whether originally proposed for Christ or not, when put into the context of a    worship setting can be used to glorify God. The present study will explore whether or not framing has any effect in the presentation of secular, non-God centered, or ambiguous lyrical content when this same said lyrical content is presented in the context of a worship setting.

Missionary Kid Kingdom Refugees

Spiritually, I will focus on Acts 17 and Paul dealing with Greek culture as an outsider, that God can be found within all cultures but all cultures have idols they need to turn from, even the United States. Missionary kids, even if they are now “non-believers,” are well versed in the Bible and its expectations, and should be put to work in getting the American Church on simply following Christ again and not cultural influences.
