Why we aren't singing?

In this video we learned that most people now a days aren't singing like they use to in church. In the video a man says that he thinks its the culture now a days. Maybe in today's times worshiping and singing isn't the social norm. He also goes on to say that some people don't know the new songs we perform and we need to introduce those songs and teach them better to the congregation. He also says that it is our job to worship and give back to god and one of the best ways to do that is through singing and worshiping. Another reason why people aren't singing anymore is that they are more difficult. These new songs are musically hard but sound amazing are sometimes misunderstood by the congregation. There are so many people of different ages and backgrounds its hard to completely convey our message of love for Christ if the music is too difficult. Much of the churches have copied a performance almost like a concert style so the audience feels like they shouldn't sing along. All churches are different but we must encourage the congregation to sing and worship along not for us but for God.

I really agreed with this video because a lot of people aren't singing in chapel or church anymore. But we need to come to worship God, it's not for ourselves. We as worship leaders bring a universal language to church to help convey God's love for us and we need to make sure our message gets across. We don't want to excuse God from the equation. We must encourage people to sing and worship in any and every setting especially in chapel and church. I really enjoyed this video and it gave me a new perspective on chapel music.
