The kids ruined my 2019 playlist, but here it is anyway.







Our main topic is working through 5 (actually 6) categories of songs from the point of what is appropriate for church worship. Without further ado, here is the official list.







Type 0: The Psalms. Always appropriate for church use, no question.Type 1: Songs meant for congregational worshipType 2: Songs with explicitly Christian contentType 3: Songs from inside the Christian worldview without explicitly Christian contentType 4: Songs from outside the Christian worldview that still address issues like the fallen condition or desire for restorationType 5: Songs from outside the Christian worldview that ignore the fallen condition and might even celebrate sin
